The Mulloy Brothers were a traditional Irish ballad group from Mulranny, County Mayo, on the west coast of the Republic of Ireland. Tom, Pat, Martin and Michael Mulloy have been performing since 1965,^[1] in a career that has involved several tours around the US and Europe.^[2] After 53 years of touring, the band came to an end after the death of Tom Mulloy on 21 September 2018 following a brain tumour. Pat Mulloy is the last surviving member, but still performs.^{[citation needed]}

The group were formed when the members were as gasúrs that performed during intervals at concerts and theatre plays around County Mayo.^{[citation needed]} After lounge bar singing became popular in Ireland in the 1960s, they became the resident band at Corrigan's Singing Lounge in Mulranny, and began touring the country.^[3] Michael Mulloy died of cancer on 8 February 2007 aged 57, and banjo player Martin Mulloy died on 22 May 2010, drowning in a boating accident. He was 58 years old.^[1][4]

In 2015, the remaining members^[who?] celebrated 50 years on the road with a concert in Mulranny Park Hotel.^{[citation needed]}
