We are Dún Aengus, a duo featuring Peter Andersson and Martin Rahmberg. The name of the band comes from a place on the small island of Inishmore on the west coast of Ireland that have a special meaning to us.

Dún Aengus have a rich repertoire of Irish tunes and songs. Music from Scotland have also been a huge influence on us, but we do also play more modern stuff if we feel the necessity.

We have known each other since 1986 and together we have more than 50 years experience as musicians. In 1992 we started the band King Laoghaire together with Leif Andersson, guitar and Markus Svensson, nyckelharpa. The first couple of years with the band were spent busking up and down the country highways and byways.

In 2004 we created the show "Celtic Night of Song and Dance" to much critical acclaim. Which feature the band King Laoghaire sharing the stage with two Irish dance groups and a host of special guests. This is an all night experience as we always finish off with an acoustic session in a nearby bar, where everyone's encouraged to participate in the dancing, playing and singing.
