"When Firkin blasts into the strings, the spark of Celtic party cracks. The audience leaves the ground again and again. 100 times, 1000 times. Sounds good? It will!! Fire!"

The madly hopping flautist, PJ pulled up a brand new group called Firkin in the summer of 2008. The band injects unadulterated, energetic Irish punk into the veins of the present day musical circulation.

It is no secret that the band's primary objective is to relax, to make you dance, to fill the audience up with many firkinfuls of energy in the form of music.

Setting out on a trail footmarked by bands like The Pogues, the Dropkick Murphys, as well as the Flogging Molly, Firkin is releasing its first album through Universal Music Group, the telling title of this sizzlingly jump-provoking album being Firkinful of Beer.

Firkin plays the kind of music to which you cannot help dancing, it sets off igniting sparkles in the feet of anyone with any kind of musical ear, provokes shouts and roars from the throat of the audience of pubs and major festivals alike. Everyone is most likely to appreciate and have a Firkin good time during a Firkin gig, regardless of age, sex, or any other "denomination". After a tiring daily chore, a Firkin gig is just the right thing to set one's mind at the sunnier side of life. That is the side to which the band would like to invite you too.

Their achievements speak for themselves:

Firkin's second LP album - `WHUP!’ - was released on 5th November, 2010 and Firkinizing Tour is to set out.

Ladies and gentlemen! As the English would say with a coy morphological euphamism denoting the act thanks to which we all jumped to this this world in the first place: Firkin is good! Firkin good. And let that be the preamble for Firkin making it into the dictionaries as synonim of "fucking good".
