The Irish Rovers were a traditional band formed in whose career would span over 40 years. Canada was the year when two young lads from the north of Ireland met for the first time at an Irish event in Toronto. George Millar who was 16 years old at the time and Jim Ferguson, 23, were both emigrants who sang together when they first met, this was when the Irish Rovers was firstborn.

A year later Joe Millar, a cousin of George, also immigrated to Canada and joined the two lads in their adventures in performing Irish music. Joe was a talented accordion and harmonica player but was also able to sing traditional Irish ballads and would prove an essential part of the Irish Rovers. It was in the States of California their talent was discovered and landed a recording contract with Decca Records.

With great success in their first album, they released a second that saw a huge response to their song The Unicorn becoming a massive hit. Lucky for television viewers the Irish Rovers performed shows on a weekly basis in Canada and later to Ireland. In , Will Millar retired from the group and their close friend, Jimmy Ferguson, passed away in but today the legend of the Irish Rovers continues in strength with new members Kevin McKeown and John Reynolds helping to keep the spirit of the Irish Rovers alive.

The Irish rovers performed many gigs throughout the years and had released many albums that are loved by many. Today they still continue to tour the world and are still a huge success just as they were when they had started this musical adventure.
