The band are Shayne Byrne (Ragged Company Recordings), Darragh J. Glennon, Brian Murphy and Stephen Young and they live in Ireland, Spain and Italy.
"We haven't all been in the same room at the same time, or the same studio," says Darragh. "So, it's almost like this set of recordings lives in the ether."
Shayne adds, "I've known the three guys most of my musical life from various other projects and to have the opportunity to be songwriting pen pals, well I can’t think of three other like-minded musicians I’d rather make noise with…even if it took good internet and four different locations."
Tell us three things about yourself . . .
We have all known each other for a decade or more. We have been in lots of bands together and played on each other's projects over that time. We are spread across three countries: Ireland, Spain and Italy so Zoom calls are the only thing we kept from the pandemic.
