Jim Farrell and Peter Lane make up BOTH BARRELS - playing traditional Irish music and original songs in the Irish style. Jim and Pete met whilst playing rugby at Heath Rugby Club and after several drinks said they were both as drunk as each other! A gig was ordered in lieu of free beer at the rugby club to raise funds. A band with no name became Beer Barrel Farrell and Lager Lane, hence The Lager Barrels - a 90's super group conceived. Then followed a world tour of King Cross with regular gigs at The Junction, The Falcon, Heath Rugby Club and King Cross cricket club. As time progressed, Nick Sellers joined the band for a one off track and stayed for the next two years. Work and family commitments caused Jim to leave the band, The Lager Barrels, exit stage left into the shadows. Eighteen months later, Jim and Pete, fuelled with
the inspiration of alcohol, made a 20 minute appearance on stage
with Belt of the Celts and realised the buzz was still there and
decided to play again. Check out the Gig Guide to see where you can catch their next performance, or better still buy the CD and enjoy the Both Barrels experience in your own home.
