About Us
The Bellefords are a Rockabilly Band from Waterford in beautiful Southern Ireland. We are three Female lead singers: Ann Cullen, Paula Marks and Jenny Cullen backed by Jimmy Shields (Lead Guitar), Cian Dalton (Double Bass) and Donald Mackinnon (Drums).
Our style is 1940's/1950's Rock'n'Roll, Rockabilly and R&B and there really is something for everyone. As well as harmonies there are strong solos covering songs from Etta James, Julie London, Ruth Brown, Wanda Jackson, Janis Martin, Connie Francis and Patsy Cline to name a few. Not only songs by female artists but also songs from Big Joe Turner, Elvis, Bill Haley and Jack Earls are among the set list.
Bopflix Films from the UK have several videos of The Bellefords on their YouTube site ... you will find them in our Music section
