Dervish are an Irish traditional music group from County Sligo, Ireland who have been described by BBC Radio 3 as "an icon of Irish music". They were formed in 1989 by Liam Kelly, Shane Mitchell, Martin McGinley, Brian McDonagh, and Michael Holmes and have been fronted by singer Cathy Jordan since 1991. They represented Ireland in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, singing a song written by John Waters and Tommy Moran, finishing in last place.

;2012 Boycott of Israel

In the Spring of 2012, Dervish was one of two Irish bands that canceled heavily advertised concerts in Israel citing a cultural boycott of Israel. The band's lead vocalist, Cathy Jordan, stated "it was very naïve of me to think our motives would not be misunderstood and misrepresented. So much so it started an avalanche of negativity which has made it impossible for us to make the trip regardless of our motives." Jordan added that "Although I was aware of the concerns with our proposed visit to Israel, I wasn’t quite prepared for the extent of the venom directed at us."〔(Dervish pull out of Israel tour after social media 'venom' ) by Ronan McGreevy and Paddy Clancy.〕〔(Irish bands cancel Israel performances citing boycott ), Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA), 6 May 2012.〕〔(Irish Band Caves to PA Arab Cultural Terrorism ) by Chana Ya'ar, ''Israel National News'', 6 May 2012.〕〔(Dervish to axe Israel visit over net 'bullies' ) by Laura Butler, ''Herald.ie'', 5 May 2012.〕 Justice Minister Alan Shatter accused the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) of "cyberbullying" Dervish into withdrawing from the concerts.〔(Shatter accuses Palestine group of cyberbullying ) by Jerome Reilly, Independent.ie, 6 May 2012.〕 IPSG National co-ordinator Kevin Squires stated that the organization had directed its supporters to target Dervish's website, although he denied Jordan's claim that was any "venom" directed towards the band.〔
