The Bad Penguins are a two piece band from Ireland who have recently relocated in Melbourne. The Bad Penguins have been playing in an array of venues across Europe, America and throughout Ireland for the past 5 years. We originally met while doing independent residencies in separate bars in Benidorm Spain and struck up a friendship from which The Bad Penguins was born.
The band comprises of Paul Quinn and Ciaran Fletcher:
Paul is the singer and guitar player of the band and has played in both cover and original bands over the years. He co-wrote and produced his first Album in 2000. Paul has played in festivals and bars across Europe before meeting Ciaran. Since the formation of The Bad Penguins. In 2004 they have toured together as a band and also maintained independent projects.
Ciaran plays the banjo and mandolin and has several All Ireland medals for both instruments under his belt. He has toured America at the beginning of this year with Celtic Crossroads which was based in Galway Ireland and was produced and directed by Melbourne native Michael McClintock.
Over the course of his career Ciaran has played alongside many top bands and artists. Prior to meeting Paul Ciaran played with many folk and Celtic rock groups in Ireland and America.
The Bad Penguins are a fresh lively group and play a wide variety of music from Irish Standards to modern pop.
