Bierhoff with you!

Munich brought to Dublin by a group of intrepid bier banders

Bierhoff
 

The Bierhoff Band returned from their recent tour of Dublin after playing at the Paulaner Beer Festival, where many a steiner was raised in appreciation for the North West based bands efforts in entertaining the revellers.

Sing-along

Band members Simon McCullough, Clara Catt, Neil Brownless and James Kerfoot got the naked knees bones bouncing ten to the dozen in the famous Temple Bar with sing-along favourites ranging from ‘Delilah’ to the ‘Munich Bier Polka’.

With knees showing and beer flowing the band gave Dublin a great taste of OompahSimon McCullogh

Crowds

The ensemble even managed to wow the audiences across the restaurants and bars in Dublin’s ‘The Brazen Head’ pub where the crowds clapped along in chorus.

As Simon McCullogh told 4BR: "With knees showing and beer flowing the band gave Dublin a great taste of Oompah."
