INTERFERENCE & DOGTAIL SOUP Live in B*H, Ballydehob, West Cork, Ireland
Ten Years Remembering - 30th January 2026 – for Fergus O’Farrell & Colin Vearncombe.
The tribe gathered once again in west cork to celebrate the music of Fergus (Fergus O'Farrell) and Colin (Black aka Colin Vearncombe) ten years to the week we lost them both. What unfolded was a musical odyssey, 3 and a half hours of beautiful songs performed by exceptional musicians.
Interference and Dogtail Soup band members old and new, joined by friends and family for an emotional ride through Ferg and Colin’s songbooks.
There are no words to describe how we feel, this was a very special night and we are still processing it all. Aside from the band and the guest musicians there was an incredible team who put this show together, tirelessly working for several months, and on the night the work put in shone through. Thank you one and all from the band for absolutely everything you did up to and on the night to allow us to honour our friends with such a beautiful evening .
