"Brilliant live five piece band! I’ve seen them a few times and they never disappoint. Played multiple shows at the Koroit Irish Festival earlier this year to a bustling crowd, and have seen them many times at various Irish pubs like The Quiet Man in Flemington and all across Victoria getting folks on their feet! Very impressed that they have an accordion in the band, and the musicians are very skilled at their craft they play an excellent mix of instruments! Definitely worth a listen!"

"I had the pleasure of catching Double Shot Maggie at Murphy’s in Geelong, and they did not disappoint! Their energy was infectious, and the blend of traditional Irish tunes with modern flair kept everyone on their feet. The musicianship is top-notch, and the lead vocalist has a voice that truly captures the spirit of the music. The atmosphere was lively, and the crowd was engaged from start to finish. Whether you're a fan of Irish music or just looking for a great night out, I highly recommend seeing this band. Can't wait for their next performance! Shout out to the accordionist who is super talented."
