Our names are Áine, Niamh and Sinéad. We are 3/4 members of 'Snasta' a new, all female, traditional Irish music band consisting of piano, concertina and fiddle.

We most recently played at the Southeastern Old Time Gathering in Bangkok in November 2025.

All three of us play regularly at sessions across Melbourne and have formed a tight-knit sound as we’ve gotten to know each other's styles more intricately. We play a wide repertoire of traditional Irish tunes and pieces which are informed by our individual music experiences growing up.

Join us in The Drunken Poet, Melbourne on the 28th of February 2026 from 3-6 pm for a session! All musicians welcome!

Yes. Alt country, urban folk, country rock, rock n roll, bluegrass and blues from the city or the swamp ... call it what you will, but these guys mix all this together, and more. If all band members give the go, it’s in. This mix is their sound, and they love creating it, and performing it.

With a huge original song list, that started back in the early nineties, this band has many influences. Carefully chosen covers rotated through the live set keeps them thinking, and writing. From Tom Petty to Tom Wates, Johnny Cash to Paul Kelly, The Band, Little Feat, Tony Joe White .... The Pheasantry Band’s sound is catchy.

If you like real vocals in harmony, real guitars with exiting electric twang, fat upright bass and drums ready to explode, make sure you see this five-piece band of cheeky Melbourne gentlemen.

Over 30 years since these guys started writing and recording songs and grooves, and they’re not about to stop.

Their style is infectious, always tells a story and
