 Leon Delander   Bass, Vocals

Leon hails from Gunnedah, NSW, and joined Jimmy Moore for the second time after an abstance of 10 years. Leon is highly regarded amongst his peers to be one of the finest Bass players in the country and the members of Claddagh would not disagree with that. Before joining Claddagh, Leon  played with several other Irish bands. He possesses considerable music expertise and an innate ability to create sensitive arrangements.

 Jimmy Closs   Bodhran, Road Manager

Jimmy hails from Glasgow, bonny Scotland, and started with the band as road manager, but over the years Jimmy took a liking to the Irish drum, the bodhran. And the members of the band reckon he sneaked onto the stage to play the drum, and forgot how to get off again. He is now the only sitting member, great fun.
