Since 2011, The Bonny Men immediately became known as a band with a unique sound and electrifying stage performances. Their second album “Moyne Road” went to Number 1 in the Irish music charts, and the music from their 3rd Album was nominated for several Folk Awards. The last number of years have seen them performing regularly on television, radio and across the National and international festival sphere. Some recent performances have seen The Bonny Men play in the magnificent Christchurch Cathedral, an open air concert in Dublin Castle and they will be performing across Ireland in 2025.
The Bonny Men have taken a decade of their collective experience of music and walk the fine line between Traditional Irish music with a new and vibrant sound, all underpinned with the unique driving arrangements that The Bonny Men are known for. Already the makings of Album number 4 are well underway.
Individually, each member brings their own taste and style to the band, which has allowed The Bonny Men to constantly develop and improve with every performance. Over the past number of years, the band has evolved musically, finding a sound that is their own, which involves a foundation in Traditional Irish musical tunes and melodies surrounded by the driving force of pulsating accompaniment. The Bonny Men have recently added a new member, Sean nós singer Roisín Chambers to their line-up, which has given the band a new and fresh feel to their performances.
Not veering away from the Traditional Music, The Bonny Men are known as a band that has the ability to take the music from its Traditional home and give it a new lease of life, enhancing and breathing new life into long lost and hidden tunes.
