FullSet Album Launch - Feb 6th Nenagh Arts Centre
Recently named 'Top Traditional Group' by the Irish Music Association, FullSet are one of the most exciting and sought after bands on the Irish Music scene today. On February 6th, this award winning group will be taking to the stage at the Nenagh Arts Centre to launch their much anticipated third album, 'Notes Between the Lines'.
FullSet are extremely excited about their concert in Tipperary as the group holds a very strong connection with the Premier County. Band members, Eamonn Moloney and Michael Harrison hail from Newport and Ballycommon respectively while the group itself was initially formed in Cashel, when several members met there while performing at the renowned Irish Music and Dance show, Brú Ború.
This young and exciting group create a sound that is full of energy & innovation, whilst all the time remaining true to their traditional roots.
“FullSet was THE breakout band at the Irish Fair of Minnesota.Their energy was infectious and the crowd response was incredible. They were able to connect to all ages, from Mohawked teenagers, to their grandparents. I had heard good things about them, but the musicianship, and stage presence playing live exceeded every expectation I had.”- Mike Wiley, Vice Chair/Entertainment Director of Irish Fair of Minnesota
FullSet have garnered much critical acclaim over the years, even being compared to super groups such as DanuÌ & Altan by respected Irish Music Magazine. Their meteoric rise in the music world began in 2011 when they were announced as the winners of the RTEÌ/RAAP Breakthrough Annual Music Bursary Award. FullSet subsequently went on to receive the “Best New Group Award” from well-respected Irish American News and were also named “Best Newcomer” in Bill Margeson’s Live Ireland Awards in 2012. Most recently, FullSet was honoured to receive the “Top Traditional Group” Award by the Irish Music Association.
To date, FullSet have been featured on some of Ireland’s most prestigious TV and radio programmes including “The Late Late Show” and TG4’s hugely popular Irish music series “GeantraiÌ”. They have recently began working with Disney and have also performed at some of the most prestigious Celtic and world music festivals across Europe and North America, some of which include the Copenhagen Irish Festival, Festival Interceltique de Lorient, Germany’s Irish Folk Festival Tour, Dublin Irish Festival, Kansas City Irish Fest and Milwaukee Irish Fest. They have shared the stage with some of the biggest names in folk and world music including Moya Brennan, Declan O’Rourke, LuÌnasa, Carlos NuÌnez, Andy Irvine, Donal Lunny and Beoga.
FullSet's upcoming album launch on February 6th at the Nenagh Arts Centre promises to be a spectacular evening of Irish music, song and dance of the highest level and is definitely a night not to be missed.
