OVERVIEW The Sick And Indigent Song Club is a folk/roots band based in Dublin. The group was formed in 2003 by Angie McLaughlin and Gary Fitzpatrick at an open mic night.

Those other members are Shane McGrath [n/a], Sheila Sullivan [Fiddle & Mandolin], Christian Volkmann [n/a] and Gerry Fitzpatrick [Lap Steel]. The group took its name from The Sick And Indigent Roomkeepers Society which is the oldest existing charity. To date the band has released 3 albums. The first of these was a live affair. The record, 'Live At The Ha'Penny' was recorded in October 2005 at the Ha'Penny Bridge Inn in Dublin. The album was released the following June as a limted run. This is now difficult to fine.
