Acclaimed as one of Australia's most exciting and innovative trad-folk acts, Trouble in the Kitchen have earned their reputation over the past decade as world class performers of traditional Irish music.  With a versatile line-up fusing flute and fiddle with driving guitar and bouzouki, it's the energy of their live shows that sets Trouble apart.  Now long at the forefront of Irish music in Australia, they have played the length and breadth of the country, featuring regularly at all the major folk festivals, and along the way they have built a reputation as firm crowd favourites.  Away from the stage, the band has featured in a number of television and independent film projects – most notably ABC TV’s “The Planet” world music documentary series (2002) and the recent ABC Digital/ABC Online co-production “The Pure Drop”.After a decade playing, touring and recording together Trouble’s sound continues to develop, and as they have succeeded in weaving Irish traditional music with tunes and songs of the Australian-Irish tradition, as well as original material, their sound has developed a distinctive local twist. They released their first full-length album, ‘When the World was Wide’ in 2003, and are currently immersed in the recording of a new album due for release Christmas 2007.

After a much accalimed tour of New Zealand in 2006, and following interest from Europe, North America and Japan, Trouble are set for more international jetsetting in 2008.
