History
The band was originally formed by Cunningham and McCaffrey as a duo in 2022.[1][2] Their main aim was to play cover songs in pubs in order to obtain free pints.[1] McNerney was added to the band due to his skills playing the mandolin and banjo.[1]
After playing a concert in Leitrim, McNerney suggested that the band become a serious endeavor.[1] At the time, McCaffrey was working as a data scientist and programmer at Pfizer, Cunningham was a primary school teacher in Terenure, and McNerney was a secondary school teacher in Longford.[1][3][4][5]
By 2024, all three members had quit their jobs after signing a recording contract with Warner Records.[1][4][6] When Cunningham told his father that he would quit his job, his father responded with the phrase, "throw the trout out to catch the salmon".[4] The phrase, which the band has described as "resonating", has appeared on official merchandise.[4]
In 2025, Amble joined Hozier's Unreal Unearth Tour, appearing as an opening act in Boston (Massachusetts), Casper (Wyoming) and Toronto (Ontario).[7]
In 2026, Amble joined Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour, as a featured supporting act on the North American leg of the tour including stops such as Glendale (Arizona) and Nashville (Tennessee).[8]
