A funny thing happened to The Saw Doctors last Autumn. After a gap of 17 years, the West of Ireland rockers topped the Irish Music Singles Chart with their punked up version of the Sugarbabes song About You Now, beating off International artists such as Pink and Kings Of Leon.

Back in the early nineties, The Saw Doctors were Number One in Ireland with Hay Wrap, N17 and I Useta Love which still holds the record for the biggest selling Irish single. The bands first album, If This Is Rock and Roll, I Want My Old Job Back was Number One in Ireland for most of 1991.

The Saw Doctors were discovered in the back room of the Quays Pub in Galway in 2988 by Mick Scott of The Waterboys.

After posting a second Number One album All The Way From Tuam, The Saw Doctors set about touring the UK in February 1996. The bands third album Sam Oul' Town went to Number Six in the UK Top Twenty, yielding two Top Twenty UK singles World Of Good and To Win Just Once.

In 1997, The Saw Doctors landed a US record deal with Paradigm in New York. The compilation album Sing A Powerful Song was released in 1997 and lead The Washington post to describe The Saw Doctors as "one of the world's most appealing roots-rock outfits".

Songs from The Street, The Saw Doctors fourth album was released on both sides of the Atlantic and was celebrated with a sold out show at London's Royal Albert Hall.

In America, The Saw Doctors headlined the American Fleadh concerts with Van Morrison and Sinead O'Connor. At the Fleadh Festival in San Jose they had crowds "jumping like pogo-sticks" according to the San Jose Mercury News.

Now they are coming to The Mean Fiddler for one awesome night of music on St Patrick's Day Eve to continue their success.

So kick off your St Patick's Day celebrations with The Saw Doctors.
