“Als gedreven, professionele, vrolijke en lieve muzikanten zorgen jullie voor een ongedwongen en gezellige sfeer. Tijdens het feest werden jullie als vanzelfsprekend onderdeel van het feestvierende gezelschap.”Herbert en Loes · Glimmen · Tuinfeest
“We booked The Doggy Few for an Irish themed party for my husband's birthday party. They transported us to Ireland's rolling green hills and everyone forgot we were in a bar in the Netherlands. From classic pub songs to delicate Irish lullabies, they can deliver it all. We connected beforehand to ask for some specific songs, which were all honored. And the whole process was fun and carefree. Highly trustworthy and simply lovely bunch of passionate musicians! Thank you.”Anna Luijf-Ivanova · Amersfoort · Iers themafeest
“Met jullie enthousiasme, energie en heerlijke liveoptredens weten jullie er iedere keer weer een fantastisch feest van te maken. Jullie zijn inmiddels een vaste en zeer gewaardeerde gast op deze bijzondere dag! The Doggy Few, bedankt voor twee fantastische jaren en op naar nog heel veel mooie St. Patrick’s Days samen! ☘️🍻 Sláinte! 💚 Groetjes Team Hart van Bourdonck”
Annemarie, Ietsje, Peter, Luke, and Eoghain — five passionate folk musicians, each with their own instrument and background, but with one shared mission: to play authentic Irish live music that touches people, sweeps them along, and brings a smile to their faces.
We cannot wait to share an evening full of Celtic passion and Irish "gezelligheid" (coziness) with you!

Celtic Dinner Night
Looking for the ultimate atmosphere for your event? The Doggy Few brings energetic, live Irish music straight to your location. From a packed pub to an intimate wedding ceremony: we transform any space into an authentic Irish session. Five experienced musicians, a deep love for the traditional repertoire, and an unforgettable show!
Our roots lie in the authentic Irish pub, and we never let go of that energy. Our repertoire is extremely versatile and ranges from uptempo jigs and reels to rugged pub songs and beautiful, melancholic ballads. Think of the unadulterated style of The Pogues, The Dubliners, and Planxty, supplemented with original work that we play with just as much fire.
We always play with a professional sound system that is perfectly adjusted to the space — large or small, amplified or purely acoustic.
Thanks to our flexible lineup and wide repertoire, we can be booked for a wide range of occasions. You can hire us for, among other things:
