The Father Teds

Come celebrate the 30th Anniversary of The Father Teds at The Hat Factory!

With support from Missing The Ferry.

Irish, Pop & Rock music at its very best since 1996

The Father Teds are a five-piece contemporary Irish band much admired for their world-class musicianship and their ability to put on a great show with their up tempo arrangements of traditional and more modern songs.

Formed 30 years ago, The Father Teds set out on a mission to entertain and have consistently delivered ever since. The key to the band’s success is their versatility, both in their range of musical styles and the types of shows they perform.

Over the years the band have performed at numerous private functions, music festivals, weddings, corporate events and concert halls. They have played throughout the U.K. and Europe, with the enthusiasm you would expect from a group of friends who simply love playing music together.

Missing The Ferry are three brothers and their 2 best friends who perform a variety of Irish and Irish-influenced music as well as writing original songs about second-generation Irish identity, belonging and - of course - Luton. 

They released their debut EP, Lonely Londoners, in June 2024 which is available on Bandcamp, all digital platforms and CD. 

Their last release ‘Luton You’re A Lady’ is a love song to their home town and will feature on their debut album scheduled for Spring 2027. 

With inspiration as diverse as Brendan Shine, The Pogues and The Stone Roses their mission is to get people dancing, singing, and thinking.
