Raw, pure folk with a reactionary punk twist! The Mary Wallopers is an Irish folk group from Dundalk, County Louth. Formed in 2016, the band consists of brothers Charles (multi-instrumentalist) and Andrew Hendy (banjo) and guitarist Sean McKenna. They started out in punk bands but discovered that folk music is actually just as rebellious and reactionary as punk. In the end, it's all a protest against
