The Mighty Doonans

DFB have a deserved reputation for their imaginative and innovative interpretations of traditional songs and ability to introduce other genres of music and dance to their thoroughly entertaining performances

The Mighty Doonans philosophy remains the same and the inclusion of the new family members has revitalised the band and created a massive musical powerhouse with incredible vocal performances.
