One For The Ditch One For The Ditch is Chicago's finest Irish Rock N' Roll band. Raucous & Rollicking, playing a mix of originals and Irish standards with a punk rock edge. Think Liam Clancy meets the Clash. Are you ready to go 'out on the lash'?

Folks are asking if Dermot is playing with us this weekend, and unfortunately he is unable to due to a conflicting schedule. The band is ready to bring you our high energy St. Paddy’s Day show, and we’ll deliver that without a doubt! See you around town!

Here we go, rock n’roll. Next weekend is shaping up to be a banger. Will we see you out?
