Based in Wellington, Jacky Tar are a group of Kiwi, Irish and Scottish musicians playing "funked-up" original and traditional Celtic music.
Using their Celtic roots as a base and adding elements of Rock, Rap, Funk and Dance music, their unique sound is a reflection of the cultural melting pot that is New Zealand.
"..a whirlind of Celtic, Rock, Alternative and Dance influences... Imagine the Mekons let loose on Irish and Scots traditional forms... this is a discovery.." - Froots UK
