From the off, Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory is sonically different from Van Etten’s previous work. Writing and recording in total collaboration with her band for the first time, Van Etten finds the freedom that comes by letting go. The result of that liberation is an exhilarating new dimension of sound and songwriting. The themes are timeless, classic Sharon – life and living, love and being loved – but the sounds are new, wholly realized and sharp as glass. 

Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory presents an exhilarating new dimension of Van Etten’s sound and songwriting. For the first time, it was written and recorded in total collaboration with her band — Jorge Balbi (drums, machines), Devra Hoff (bass, vocals), and Teeny Lieberson (synth, piano, guitar, vocals) — allowing Van Etten the freedom that comes by letting go. The themes are timeless, classic Sharon, but the sounds are new, wholly realized and sharp as glass.

When the fans of a band put together a tribute production, you should expect microscopic detail, but when they’re also seasoned performers, you can expect fireworks.

The band formed in 2018, with the members having played together in numerous other guises over the years. Since their debut, Qween has wowed audiences with a theatrical rock show that brings the audience right back in time to the front row of a classic Queen gig. Qween’s two-hour show features a veritable anthology of Queen’s greatest hits, from Radio Ga Ga to Somebody to Love, performed fully live.

Since their inception, they have grown in popularity quickly and have performed shows usually reserved for acts that have their own tributes, selling out venues across Ireland.

In 2022, the band featured over two days at the Forever Young Festival, with performances that included guest appearances from Tony Hadley, formerly of Spandau Ballet, and Mark Shaw of Then Jerico. Such was the response, the band was booked for the festival’s main stage in 2023—the first time a tribute band had been granted the privilege.

“On paper, there’s nothing particularly ‘cool’ about a tribute band, and that’s the hardest thing for us to communicate to audiences—that this is the essence of what Queen is about rather than some musicians playing dress-up. When people see us, they get it then,”

said guitarist Thomas Brunkard.

In October 2004, amongst a thriving Dublin music scene Declan O’Rourke’s debut album Since Kyabram was released. In its first week, Since Kyabram entered the charts at no.5 and over the following two years achieved gold, platinum and twice platinum status.  The Album held within it a collection of songs which have grown in popularity over the years. Galileo, Sarah, No Place To Hide, We Didn’t Mean To Go To Sea and Marrying The Sea are amongst the titles which led to Award nominations and plaudits from Paul Weller, Eddi Reader, Paul Brady and Snow Patrol.

Speaking about the upcoming shows Declan O’Rourke says

“To celebrate and release Kyabram all over again, this time with a deeper dive inside the tapes, is going to be such a trip. Being fully immersed in the music once more for just a handful of special 20th-anniversary concerts will also be very exciting! Since Kyabram is a record I’m very proud of, both as an introductory body of work and a collection of songs individually. After 20 years I’m still hugely nostalgic for it and love that it has become a favourite for many others.”

Legends of Irish music & song, The FUREYS renowned for their hit songs ‘I will love you’, ‘When you were sweet 16’, ‘The Green fields of France’, ‘The old man’, ‘Red rose café’, ‘From Clare to here’, ‘Her father didn’t like me anyway’, ‘Leaving Nancy’, ‘Steal away’ etc. take to our stage for the final time as part of their FAREWELL TOUR. The oldest of the brothers, Eddie Furey left home in 1966 and travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival where he met and shared accommodation with then unknown folk singers Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty. In 1972, Gerry Rafferty wrote ‘Her father didn’t like me anyway’ for Eddie. BBC Radio 1 presenter, the late John Peel made it his single of the year.

They are particularly proud of their UK chart success with songs such as “I Will Love You” and “When You Were Sweet Sixteen”, which in turn helped bring Irish folk and traditional music to a completely new audience. The band made their Top of the Pops debut in 1981. Eddie Furey recalls how “many musicians have told us we influenced them after hearing a record from their parents or grandparents”. Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics has
credited Eddie with teaching him his first chords on the guitar while still a teenager. Eddie would return the compliment by joining Dave on stage in Paris for a jam during Dave’s wedding to Bananarama’s Siobhan Fahey.

Their emotive songs stir many emotions, tears and laughter, sadness and joy.
