Maghery Band during their East Coast USA tour <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maghery Band\u2019s East Coast USA Tour commenced on Wednesday 13th March visiting New York, New Jersey & Florida. This was the first time the band had performed internationally, having previously never left Ireland, so this was a great opportunity to impress on the international stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the time they left Maghery they were already making an impact, entertaining people waiting for their flights in Dublin Airport and then playing again on their Aer Lingus flight to NYC.
