The Islanders consist of Chic McLean from the Isle of Bute, Scotland and Paul Kelly from Lincoln, England but with roots in Galway, Ireland. The Islanders perform with and without backing band. The Islanders Folkband plays a breathtaking potpourri of traditional Scottish and Irish folk music. Their performance is seasoned with spontaneity and humour. The repertoire covers traditional Scottish and Irish music such as The Corries and the Dubliners, the more modern folkrock style played by Runrig, Wolfstone and U2, and exciting afroceltic drum rhythms.

The band has toured Denmark, Germany, Spain, Morocco, Austria, Switzerland, Czech, Sweden, Norway, England, Scotland, USA, Thailand, Vietnam and Australia with great success. In Denmark The Islanders have played Bogense festival, RavneRock festival, Bork Havn festival, Tønder festival, and Strib Winterfestival and a large number of venues both large and small in the whole country. The Islanders have appeared numerous times on Danish television.
