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. As circumstances would have it, the duo ended up playing together at a live event. As time went on, they involved other musicians until The Sick And Indigent Song Club was formed. Those other members are Shane McGrath [Mandolin], Sheila Sullivan [Fiddle], Christian Volkmann [Harmonica and Bass] and Gerry Fitzpatrick [Dobro].

The group took its name from The Sick and Indigent Roomkeepers Society which is Dublin’s oldest existing charity.
