We are a very lively Irish Trad band from West Cork. We play a mix of instrumental and happy - sad - comical Irish songs.

Francine Thurnheer is the charismatic lead singer and lively whistle player. If the audience is up for it she is also known to show a ceili (Irish dance!) or two.

Dorian Kelly is on the Banjo, Mandolin and backing vocals. Well known for his drive and beautiful mandolin solos.

Finn Kelly is on the bass. We plan to buy him a microphone for Christmas so he can also join in with the singing!

Haensel Thurnheer is on guitar and backing vocals and makes sure we never get bored!

Rubicon was founded 20 years ago. We play all venues in West Cork and have toured the U.S, UK, Canada, Austria and Germany. We want to bring a fun night to the places we play and make sure everybody has a good time. We have also just released our 6th album ‘Sailor’s Lane.’
