“Setting a new standard for traditional Irish music in this country”
The Canberra Times

Trouble in the Kitchen are well-established
favourites amongst lovers of traditional Irish music in Australia. The band originally formed out of the strong Irish music scene in Canberra in the mid-nineties, and quickly gained a strong following on the Australian folk festival circuit. Originally a six piece (with cello and button-accordion) called Cooking for Brides, the band changed both shape and name in late '97 before moving to Melbourne in April '98.

Now long at the forefront of Irish music in Australia, Trouble have played the length and breadth of the country, performing feature concerts at all the major folk festivals, and along the way they have built a reputation as firm crowd favourites. They have earned respect and admiration not only for the energy of their live shows but also for their dedication to the musical traditions of which they are a part – and their presence at any festival is a guarantee of lively (and late…) sessions! They released their first full-length album, ‘When the World was Wide’ in 2003, and preparations are underway for a new album for release in April 2006. Following interest from Europe North America and Japan, 2006 will also see the band take their distinctive sound beyond Australian shores for the first time.
