The necessity for the name came when the first demo ‘Zeby To Bylo Spoko’ was recorded in Summer 2007. at that time it was a three piece band – Bogus (Poland) on guitar, Marka (Lithuania) on Cajon and Vaclav (Czech Republic) on mandolin. The name was chosen partly as a joke, referring to Vaclav who always said he feels like a mute fish in Ireland because he couldn’t speak any English.After considerable success busking in Galway arts festival the band took a one year break because Bogus needed to go back to Poland to finish his degree. On summer 2008 the guys met again in Dublin to shake Galway arts festival once more. Right after the new year the bass player Tomas (Lithuania) joined and only a few months later Vaclav left the band, and Mutefish was on pause again. The trio started a surf music side project (the Braconniers) and carried on under this flag till June when drummer Peter (Ukraine) and flute player Daithi (Ireland) joined and mutefish were revived.Mutefish are:Bogus – guitar/mandolin, Marka – cajon/guitar, Daithi – flute/tin whistle, Tomas – bass, Peter – drumshttp://www.mercantilehotel.ie/gig/mutefishevery-tuesday-1030pm-8/  Tuesday 13th SeptemberUNDERSCORE ORCHESTRA (Balkan/Klezmer/Gypsy Jazz/Swing)+ BLIND YACKETYDoors: 8pmTickets: FREE ENTRY The Underscore Orkestra plays a blend of Balkan, Klezmer, Gypsy Jazz and Swing music both Original and Traditional.

They’ve got the very ethnic sound of the former, and though they play fast, it’s not at the manic punk level of the latter. The phrase “foot-stompin’” also is apt, as their original and traditional pieces have a way of making people move.” – Reno Retro Mixhttp://www.TheUnderscoreOrkestra.com  Wednesday 14th SeptemberCOMEDY HA HA (every Wednesday)Doors 8pm€5 on the door including free shotEVERY WEDNESDAY @ The Mercantile, Dame St ONLY €5 at the door with a FREE SHOT The Best in Irish Comedy right in the city centre.
