THE MAD HATTERS
"All the Carnival, Colour and Craic you could ask for!"
The Mad Hatters mix the carnival colours and sounds of Brazil with the fun loving craic of their own Irish roots. Presenting, unarguably one of the most unique and fantastic musical family orientated performances in the country.
Great excitement and loads of fun for hearts, young and old.
For 22 years, the instantly recognisable three foot flower adorned hats, drums, grooves and craic of The Mad Hatters have been found in almost every county of Ireland, north and south.
Its not just their larger than life street presence and imagery that has had organisations and festivals and of all sizes booking them. I don’t even think it’s their groovy rhythms that leap around street corners and over rooftop attracting and exciting audiences from afar. It’s their family friendly performances that have folk hooked. From grandparents to grand children, it’s fun, fun, fun to be had when the Mad Hatters hit the streets.

Antrim Coast bound with The Mad Hatters.
The Ballymoney Spring Fair has become a wonderful way to kick into the Sunshine for the last few years.
How they manage to get the sunshine, to agree to turn up, is a highly guarded secret in those parts.
Here's a few snippets of fun from our afternoons adventures.

It's our first return to the festival scene and what a beautiful day it turned out to be. Our colourful sights and sounds were greeted with the best of smiles from folk of all ages.
The "Toon" (as folk up here call it) you played a blinder. Thank you.
