Banshee have performed extensively both as individuals and in collective performance evenings, in their respective genres of dance, fiction, song, poetry and drama. In New York, events in spaces such as Max Fish, Fez and The Knitting Factory, proved very successful when the majority of the group lived on the U.S. East Coast. These were done in conjunction with the Celtic Calendar, on the celebration days of Samhain, the Winter Solstice, Imbolg, Bealtaine, the Summer Solstice and Lughnasa.
Among other events, BANSHEE have hosted and headlined on the Performance Stage at the GUINNESS FLEADH (an Irish Lollapollooza) in New York and San Francisco. The collective has been the subject of a documentary film by Laura Metzger, and has been featured on Irish National television, BBC television, European Satellite television and on radio programs in both the U.S. and Ireland. Since the turn of the millenium, BANSHEE has come in for some changes. With the real-location scattering of banshees to different parts of the globe, live performances have been put on hold, but the virtual bond survives.
