Verified profile

La Phooka are a UK based 5-piece band of all different shapes and sizes. Together, we play original songs & tunes (along with a clutch of covers). Our music ranges from folk-pop, upbeat foot-tapping, dancing-shoes-on numbers through to beautiful ballads and instrumentals. From whistles and Bagpipes to bouzouki and mandolin, from diatonic accordion to all manner of guitars. And of course, the bass & drums drive the dance party rhythms home. Multi-part harmony vocals complete the full, lush sound.
