Feel The Power Of Music
Shad Lads got their start in December 2018 when this group of long-time seasoned musicians and friends got together to play a one-off gig and ended up receiving a rousing response from the audience. The experience was so much fun that it turned into a permanent band which has since played festivals, private functions, bars and numerous outdoor events.
