KING LAOGHAIRE is a group of six people who share a mutual interest in traditional Irish/Scottish ballads and dance music. Based in Vänersborg, Sweden, the band first started in 1991 as an acoustic experiment in a rockbands (the Ex-Junkies) regular repertoire. In early 1992 the acoustic side of the band had taken over.

Founding members were Peter Andersson, tenor banjo & vocals; Markus Svensson, nyckelharpa; Leif Andersson, guitar and Martin Rahmberg, guitar & vocals. The line-up has varied over the years, but Peter has been there since the beginning. Martin is now enjoying his second spell with the group.
