The Half Room - LIVE IN CONCERT! Doors 7.30pm Onstage 8pm

‘The Half Room’ comprises a group of friends bonded by their mutual passion for folk songs

and singing. What initially started as a weekly gathering to share songs has evolved into a

new band, ready to release their debut album in autumn 2024.

Although the band is relatively new, its members are esteemed artists and seasoned singers

in their own right. The ensemble features the evocative vocals of renowned Dingle singer

Pauline Scanlon, and the velvety richness of singer-songwriter Nicola Joyce from celebrated

Galway trio ‘The Whileaways’. The harmonic blend of The Half Room finds equilibrium in the

earthy authenticity of vocalists Eoin Wynne and Fabian Joyce. With minimalist guitar

arrangements and subtle ambient accompaniment, The Half Room encapsulates folk music

in its rawest form, ensuring the spotlight remains firmly on the song and the singer. As they

transition from the battlefields of Flanders to the stormy seas off Lisbon, The Half Room

singers fill their arrangements with harmonic colour and texture, as their songs swell with

story and feeling.

A testament to the deep understanding the quartet has of the Irish traditional canon, and

the broader traditions of America and Europe, The Half Room is a group of singers and

musicians who grew up with the songs they sing. The record, a year in the making and a

lifetime in the living, reflects their profound connection to the music they make.
