You can tell immediately when a band has it. Maybe it’s down to the chemistry between band members, or the quality of the songwriting, or the anthemic nature of the music that gets you right in the gut. Maybe, in Kingfishr’s case, it’s all three.

Formed while members Eddie (vocals, guitar), McGoo (banjo), and Fitz (bass) were studying engineering at university in Limerick, Kingfishr are gathering momentum like few other bands in recent memory.
