Is grúpa de chairde iad ‘The Half Room’ atá an-tugtha don cheol tíre agus amhránaíocht. Thosaigh siad ag casadh lena chéile uair sa tseachtain agus anois tá siad réidh lena chéad albam a sheoladh i bhfómhar 2024. Tá an grúpa déanta suas de ceithre ceoltóir cumasacha. Is iad Pauline Scanlon amhránaí den scoth as an Daingean, amhránaí is scríbhneoir Nicola Joyce as an ngrúpa ‘The Whileaways’, amhránaí Fabian Joyce agus Eoin Wynne na ceoltóirí atá mar bhall don ghrúpa.

‘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.

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.
