The O'Deadly's

It was the summer of 2007. In the middle of The Netherlands. Arnhem to be precise. That’s where our two protagonists met. That fateful meeting turned into a love story across two continents and eventually lead to the formation of The O’Deadlys, considered by many to be Ontario’s top Celtic band. 

Led by Ayron Mortley (vocals & guitar) and Lindsey O’Connell (vocals, accordion, harmonica & tin whistles), the band stretches as far as a 6-piece with fiddle, sax & flute, bass, and drums. 

In addition to The O’Deadlys, Lindsey, and Ayron are often hired as side musicians to record or perform with other musicians including; Kevin Quain & the Mad Bastards, Wild Strawberries, The Mahones, Ben Sures, Taxi Chain/Urban Highlanders, The Buccaneers, Airs & Graces and Walter Moffat. They have been lucky enough to share the stage with both Alan Doyle and Sean McCann (of Great Big Sea) and John McDermott. 

Notable recent gigs include; the Ireland Fund of Canada’s Luncheon, the St. Patrick’s Parade Society’s Grand Marshal’s Ball, the Canada Games 2022, and Toronto’s Celtic Island Music Festival.

AYRON MORTLEY – VOCALS & GUITAR

Fun Fact: Ayron also teaches guitar, bass, mandolin, tenor & 5-string banjo, piano, and drum lessons online. For the few rare nights a week, he’s not on the stage, he can be found on the ice where he’s slightly less professional.

LINDSEY O’CONNELL – VOCALS, ACCORDION, HARMONICA, & TIN WHISTLES

Fun Fact: Aside from playing music professionally, Lindsey is a real-life Snow White who can make friends with practically any wild animal. WARNING: she should not be disturbed while reading a good book.

JIM BISH - VOCALS, TENOR SAXOPHONE & FLUTE

Fun Fact: Jim has played music professionally all over the world; from Montreal to Memphis to Mogadishu. He makes beautiful music out of anything and everything, including the kitchen sink.
