What a GREAT DAY!! It was an honour and a privilege to warm up the Hip fans last Saturday afternoon at Harmony Square in Brantford. We would like to thank Jenn and the whole crew for their expedience and helpfulness throughout the day. And of of course ... The Tragically Hip gets our utmost respect and gratitude... All the best to Gord and the boys.
It was great to perform in front of a diverse group of Brantfordians, and also to see some of our friends and fans come out with their entire families. We really got a kick out of performing for the "kids of all ages" who turned up for this monumental and historic rock and roll event.
Thanks Brantford! ... and see you soon...

Happy HEAT WAVE Everybody!! Come out to the Brantford Kinsmen Ribfest 2016 at Cockshutt Park in Brantford on August 6th. Hairy Mulligan will be taking the stage at 2:30PM sharp. We will be rocking out two full sets for the rib-eating masses.
See you there!
Thanks to everyone who came out to Manny's Place last Saturday night. Although our fearless Vox-man David Griffin was sorely missed (he was very much under the weather), we were thankful to have "Halo Of Flies" singer David Bistolas (pictured) help out with the vocals on the second set. Much thanks David!!
We would also like to send a shout out to our old pal Brett Davidson from "Cold Ethyl" who rocked a rendition of "Let's Shake" with us early in the night.
Let's not forget the AWESOME job our very own Rob Robbins did on vocals for the night. As always Rob... You rock brother!
We will definitely be back in full force on March 26th and beyond. Griff is on the mend and will be back at 100%. Hope to see you all at the next gig.
Hello people, aliens, and robots. We have a bit of bad news that will not help ease your February Blahhhs....
Our Vox and Frontman Dave is currently experiencing some serious cold & flu. We HATE to have to do it, but we must cancel our scheduled performance at Manny's Place on Saturday Feb 20, 2016.
Our sincerest apologies to the good folks at Manny's, and to you, our 'Loyal'.
We are scheduled to perform at Manny's again on March 26th. Hope to see you there!!
Here's hopin' Dave sees a speedy recovery!!
The Boys @ HM
UPDATE: 12:55PM EST
My personal apologies to all of our friends, to my band and to Manny!! We had to cancel tomorrow night's gig! Yours truly is under the weather, to put it lightly, & without a voice! There's a lot of bad stuff out there, stay safe, wash your hands and keep a good 10' distance from your school-aged kids for the next month or two! ;) Still, make sure head out to Manny's Place regardless!! There will be another great band to see taking our place! Check out the Manny's Place page very soon! ... Our next gig: Sat March 26th!! Cheers! David
UPDATE: 7:20PM EST The remaining members of Hairy Mulligan will perform. SEE YOU THERE!!!
The Liquid Lounge has been so great to the band all of these years! An integral part of our continuing evolution! It was an absolute pleasure to rock out with so many familiar faces time after time after time...An incredible bunch of live music lovers that kept Hairy Mulligan striving for perfection with every note, gig after gig after gig! We never let you down!
Thank you to Cheri & Scotty & Craig & all of the servers and doormen & kitchen staff over the years & Mr. Friendly collecting beer bottles and sweeping at the end of each gig! We found everyone incredibly easy to work with & always professional!!! When things got heated, as they sometimes do when you mix booze & boneheads, it was a No Nonsense policy and the trouble makers were always ejected quickly, effectively & professionally, allowing the party to continue! Plus there were so many regulars there that we always said it was "self-governed"! One big happy family!!! ...
Well, as they say, when one door closes another door opens! We promise to keep the music alive & WE WANT YOU ALL WITH US FOR THE RIDE!!! We are packing up our mics, guitars, amps, drums, cables and moving on over to Manny's Place!!! In our opinion now the BEST venue for live music around with massive stage, sound system, light show, dance floor, great room for crisp sound and lots of room to party!!! ... SO 3 CHEERS FOR THE LIQUID LOUNGE FAMILY FOREVER IN OUR ROCK & ROLL HEARTS!!!
Dave & The Boys
That's right kids, the much-anticipated return of our bass-playing demi-god... Rod Albon is upon us. Rod has been nursed back to health and is once again ready to BRING THE BASS!!
Check out Hairy Mulligan at Mannys Place in Brantford this Friday night (July 17th) and bear witness to the "Return Of The Rod"!
DON'T FORGET TO WISH DAVE A HAPPY 45th !!!
Happy Birthday Dave, who loves ya baby! WE DO!!!
A very special thank you to our friend Nadene Aasla who became the 500th person to like our Friends of Hairy Mulligan Facebook page.
Thank you for helping us reach this milestone. We are constantly updating our page with gig info, pics and videos so tell your friends about us and invite them to join our happy, Hairy Mulligan rock and roll family by giving our page a "thumbs up". Next gig is April 17th at the Liquid Lounge! See ya there!
As some of you may or may not know.... sadly, our bass-pumpin powerhouse - Rod Albon was injured just hours prior to the Hairy Mulligan gig on Friday, February 27. Rod was in emergency well into the wee hours, and ended up having surgery on the following Friday. The bad news is.... Rod will be out of commission til at least June. This according to the finest medical professionals to ever grace the halls of the finest Medical Institutions ever known to Brantford. Get well soon Rod. We need you back on stage ASAP!
Luckily, our good pal and bass wizard [Iron] Dave Bennett was available to help us out that night, and showed up for the last two songs of the first set, and proceeded to ROCK the house with us for the remainder of the evening. A HUGE thanks again to Iron Dave.
Well, we already had the upcoming March 28th gig booked, so it looks like we will have occassion to, once again, be indebted to Iron Dave as he has agreed to step in and provide the bottom for Hairy Mulligan in Rod's absence on March 28th.
See You There!!
Thanks very much to all our friends who braved the bitter cold to come ROCK out with us last night!!! It's true, a freak mishap before the show sent our Bass Man Rod to the hospital, but we can happily report that he is now slowly on the mend!!! Hairy Mulligan has ALWAYS been true to the old adage that THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!! We will NEVER disappoint our friends!!! (The only gig we've ever had to cancel was in 2005 when Dave had a temperature of 106 - what a wuss!!) So, with the support & understanding of our friends & the staff last night, we did our best as a Rockin' 4 piece, with Dan & Rob trading back & forth between guitar & bass, jamming through 1/2 the 1st set, when a friend of the band, Dave Bennett, appeared and Rocked out on bass with the boys for the remainder of the night - Thank You Dave!!! Before long the crowd was up Rockin' & Dancin', wrapped in that velvety blanket-like Wall Of Sound that Hairy Mulligan is famous for!!! Cheers everybody - we'll see you next month at the Liquid Lounge, March 27th!!!
We had a fantastic time last night!!! Thanks again to all of our amazing friends that came out to party hearty with Hairy Mulligan one last time in 2014!!!
Our 2015 schedule will be posted soon - cheers everyone - see you soon!!!

Hairy Mulligan rocks at The Lounge and "Bash"
Well, this was a great weekend for the band. We started off Friday night playing at The Liquid Lounge in Brantford then hoppin' on over to Mt. Pleasant to be part of the Tommyknockers bash.
Friday night was incredible. The place was jammed by the time we went on at 10:30 and in the partyin' mood. We had a special treat for the rockers in the crowd as we unleashed a 13 minute Metallica medley!
Saturday night was awesome. 4 bands playin' with an incredible sound system set up and the crowd havin' a great time! Hairy Mulligan would like to commend and thank Mike Lapointe for the invite this year and the great job he and his band did puttin' on the show!
Hopefully we cya next year!
Friday the 13TH
We hadn't played here or anywhere for that matter in almost 3 months. Needless to say we weren't sure what to expect. We were a little worried - outta sight, outta mind.
Well let me tell you the reception from the people was amazing. This place was packed and hoppin' all night long!
We would like to thank the staff for the excellent treatment and a special shout out to our friend C-Vox from SU8CK for helpin' out with the backing vocals at the end of the night!

Once again the band would like to thank the staff for hospitality and the Lounge for letting us entertain for the eveining!
Rock and Roll All Night
Once again this place was party central. By the second set the place was packed and the dance floor never emptied.

Would once again like to thank the Lounge staff for their hospitality and giving us the opportunity to entertain. Also a special thanks to Fritz for checkin out the show - much appreciated!

HAIRY MULLIGAN GETS ROYAL TREATMENT

First set was typical so I've been told -kinda quiet. Second set a few tables full and havin' a good time. Third set was CRAZY!
This place was full and hoppin'. It's a great feeling for the band when everyone is obviously having a good time. Thanks for all the wonderful compliments it was our pleasure.
Special thanks to Rick and his staff for letting us entertain for the evening.
This place is a fu*&%#*in madhouse!
What a night! This place was electric from the first note right till the end.
Many unexpected appearances last night in the crowd. Long time friend Brian Xurieb showed up with one of the Trailer Park Boys....yes thats right, "Randy" hopped up on stage last night and gave the crowd an unexpected thrill. Also, our web guru finally showed up from out of nowhere to attend his first show.
The band would like to thank the awesome staff at the Lounge once again. Our pleasure as always!
Hairy Mulligan rocks the "haunted mansion"
Back at one of the great places to play last night. Always a joy for the band to plug into the gigantic sound system.
Started off a little slow but once things got rollin' it was all systems go!
The band would like to thank Rhonda and the rest ot the staff for letting us entertain them for the evening - look forward to next time.
Schools Back In Session
The band hasn't played here in awhile so we weren't sure what to expect. The night started a liitle slow with most of the people enjoying the scenery on the patio. Second set on was a blast!
All sorts of University people hangin' out enjoying the tunes and partying. The band had a great time and will be back in November!
Kickin' off the long weekend
It's 10:00 pm and maybe 10 - 15 people sittin' around drinking their beers. Well I'm thinking everyone is gone for the last long weekend of the summer. All of a sudden, 10:25 and this place is close to packed!
This had to be one of the best nights we've played at the Lounge. By the end of the first set this place was hoppin' and it didn't end until 2:00 am!
Once again the band would like to thank the Lounge and all the staff for another wonderful evening.

Even during the middle of the summer this place is full and rockin'! Another crazy night with the crowd definitely enjoying the new material - thanks for the positive feedback, much appreciated.
We will be back in September and look forward to it. Until then....CHEERS!
No Summertime Blues This Night
Well we were back at it again after a 5 week hiatus. Our drummer is all married up and back from his awesome honeymoon in Hawaii!
We weren't sure what to expect seeing as it's the middle of the summer but once again this place didn't let us down.
We played a couple of new tunes and boy did we hit the mark. The band would like to thank all of the crazy people that continue to show up and support the band. Cheers!
Mulligan Dancers Out In Full Force
What a great night it turned out to be. The band was a little worried with the bad weather and all. But worry not my friends, this place was hoppin'.
There were guys playing air guitar, women bouncing ( literally ) we even had some girl almost bring down the speaker she was rockin' so hard!
Needless to say another great night at the Lounge...cya in July!!
The Twins rock the Tavern in Dover
Things looked a little sketchy at first. Not many people at the beginning of the evening...but by the start of the second set 'till the end it was Dover as usual. This city likes to rock!
Hairy Mulligan would like to thank the staff at the Norfolk and especially April for giving us the opportunity to play!
We will see you again in August...we look forward to it. CHEERS!
Rockin' the Flamingo
Another great night at Hess! The place was alive and rockin' - summer is on its way!
The place was busy all night and by the third set it was gettin' a little crazy. We played four encores and the people were still wanting more!! The people will have to see us next time.
It was great to see one of our faithful fans kickin' it on the dance floor again - a special shout out to Amanda!!
Packed House Once Again!
Just played another amazing high energy show at the always crazy Liquid Lounge. This place never ceases to amaze us. Every time we play here the crowd reaction is incredilble.
We made a new number one fan ( heads up Monique! ) last night. This young dude was front and center all night and wouldn't stop bangin' his head until he finally banged it on the floor towards the end of the evening - it might have somethin' to do with the double fistin' he had goin' on all night!
Once again the band would like to thank everybody at the Lounge...great time as always.
Packed house for the Mulligans
Never a disappointing night at the Liquid Lounge. The house was full and everyone was rockin' as usual!
It was a very interesting evening...our drummer almost had his car stolen, our "number one fan" was out and stompin' the dance floor all night and it seemed liked everyone either wanted to take a picture of the band or wanted us to take theirs!
Hairy Mulligan would like to thank Sherri for having us - always a pleasure.
The MADHOUSE At Its Best
I'm Tellin' ya, this place rocks like there is no tomorrow!
The Tavern was hoppin' from the opening note and got crazier as the night went on. By the third set the band could barely hear each other in between songs the crowd was so LOUD
The band would like to thank April for having us and a special thanks to the man in the picture for keeping the suds flowing our way!!
Living After Midnight!
I'm not sure if there was a full moon out or what, but what a weird night.
People were coming and going all night.Finally by the start of the 3rd set the place had filled up and started partyin' like the people of Hamiton know how to do.
A Night To Celebrate
What a blast Friday night! This place rocks without fail every time we play here.
