Scratch 45 is a quartet hailing from Pictou County. with their roots firmly planted in traditional and rock music, with a broad array of other influences mixed in, combined to create a unique sound. Scratch 45 was originally conceived as a way to get back to their roots and blow off steam playing good time party / pub music. The addition of past band mates and friends has created a solid core upon which the group could base an act. After trying out several players and styles of music, the group discovered their sound.

O'Leary's Pub, located at 46 Princess St, in historic Saint John, New Brunswick, was established in 1987 satisfying the need for an Irish Pub within the city.
Saint John (the oldest incorporated city in Canada) has a large Irish Cultural Community which has developed over the years along with O'Leary's through such events as the sponsorship of the Belfast Children's Vacation Project and the St. Patrick's Celebrations.
First developed as a neighborhood pub, O'Leary's has grown to become Saint John's premier entertainment center for music, especially with Traditional and East Coast Artists. O'Leary's has played host to many great acts from all over North America as well as working hard to help develop local talent through the Wednesday Open Mike hosted by Brent Mason.
Known as "The Traditional Place To Meet Your Neighbour" we hope you take the time to visit us. We are sure you will enjoy the hospitality.
