Leahy

Leahy is a Canadian folk music group. The eight band members, all from the Leahy family of 11 siblings, are from Lakefield, Ontario, and have been touring Canada and internationally since the early 1980s, when they were known as The Leahy Family. In 1985, they were the subject of a short film entitled Leahy: Music Most of All which received an Academy Award in the category of "Best Foreign Student Film." The members of Leahy take significant pride in their Irish roots and Canadian upbringing. The line-up of the group varies depending upon the availability of its members, who are present or absent due to marriage, childrearing and other obligations.
