It's Monday night sessions and I am delighted to say that this next group that we're about to talk to, join us live on what do you call that thing again? Zoom. And I'm delighted they're taking the time out. I know they're under pressure there, but thank you very much indeed. That's Tom and Dean in German and Declan, how you doing lads? I hope all very well. Good stuff. Good stuff. Come here. Thanks for joining us. I know you're under pressure and stuff. But the band, O'Nor, you have just sold out three nights in the Balor. Tom will talk to you, of course, if that's okay. How did that feel? Caught us totally on the hot-ball, to be honest, because we had planned to do a few shows this year and we said we'd start with the Balor because it's a nice cosy room. Of course. We still thought we'd have to push it, you know. We couldn't believe it when it sold out. The first one sold out in four hours, we couldn't believe it. And then you're on to the second night. Then you're on to the third night. Yeah. It's some feeling, but isn't it for yourselves? Because you haven't gigged a lot as such, you know what I mean? And you must be just blown away with the interest and the... It's practically unheard of, because I know that... I know the... and Greenin sold out on, what, 30, 35 minutes on Thursday night. And we were watching it. Myself and Jimmy were watching it on... We were on the... and Greenin's page and we were watching... The dots were just leaving, you know, the seats for the dots. Shit, this is unbelievable, you know. So well done, congratulations. Is there any nerves now, German? Yeah, I look, there is definitely. I think more so than anything. I think it's kind of a real wake-up call, because before this we had already started making what was the bones of a theatre show. Oh, had you said that? We had, like, we were kind of... I don't know if you'd say we were proactive, but we were the next thing to it. So we had about an hour... I think we got to about an hour and five minutes of songs, but we got to play that for a little group of Americans at the end of January. Got a bit of feedback on that. And now, since all the shows I've sold, we're reworking it to kind of fit the crowd, you know? So it was actually a real good kind of eye-opener for us. You know, do you write your own material? We were just saying at the minute, we were talking about this actually yesterday, like, that's definitely our next main step. Once we get this show made, that's because the four of us are there, and I think in our own capacity by ourselves, we've all done writing, you know, and I think most of us have released something ourselves or a song we've written. So it was a group, it would be a real interesting experiment. Brilliant. We're not blown away, but the fact that you sold out so quickly, we're just delighted, absolutely delighted, because we've been watching your videos. And I know you're coming up here in April to us for a live show, and we're genuinely really looking forward to that. And do you know what I'm talking to different people about this, about you coming up? And this is just talking to people individually. Everybody's saying, everybody's talking about you. It'll be a great show, it'll be a great night. We're actually, we can't wait, we really can't wait. We're looking forward to the baller, and we're looking forward to the greening. And have you any other plans, do you intend taking this show on the road further, or what way does it work? Declan, we'll go to you, because the roads need to be fiddly left out, you know? We're looking at the branch out, maybe into different counties, but we just need to get on the advertising of different radio stations, and I think maybe break into Slago and slowly move down the country. Should we build the following first, before you can make any big decisions? I know, I know, I know. How did the band come about? You know, how did the four of you get together? I know you're all, you've all different things going on musically, I know that, but how did the anore come about? I think it was during... Dean, I'm sorry, Dickey. How you going, German? No, no, go ahead, please. Go ahead, German. No, German, go ahead. I guess I can see a following here. Tom and Declan were a duo, and they've been giggling around myself, and Dean were a duo, and then I think it was as Ireland had just come out of the first lockdown. I sent a message on Facebook to the lads and said, here, we're meeting each other in the pubs and hotels, passing by every night. Why don't we record a song together and just, honestly, it was just something to pass the evenings as Ireland was coming out of lockdown. Brilliant. I think the night that we recorded the Owl Triangle in Merva Forest at 12 o'clock that night, Ireland went back into its second lockdown as far as I remember. Yeah. So we were rushing trying to get out of the darkness in the forest and get home before 12. You get home before 12. The mad times, you know, but I'm saying that, they seem to sort of inspire a lot of good things in a sense, too, you know, and hopefully you are one of them inspirational groups that we are really looking forward to. Well, what about recording? Has that come under yet? No, or? Recording? Recording, you know, you have the album. Go on ahead. Go on ahead. Yeah, we're hoping to get an album together for the shows that we can be able to have for the people that come to the shows in the baller in Ireland. And then hopefully, like you said, about writing our own stuff, we hope to get some of our own stuff recorded as well. It's definitely the goal. Well, you pick songs. I know what you pick, traditional Irish songs, and I love the fact because I'm sort of passionate about old songs coming back again. It's lovely to hear them back again because I think we have a responsibility to the people that wrote them songs years ago that a couple of generations have never heard of them. And I think it's well done, the old triangle and things like that. So well done on that because I think that's just amazing. Now, Mad World then, you know, it's a different genre altogether, you know. But you just brought it on brilliantly. Absolutely brilliant. Tara Howley's help with that now was... Amazing. It was nice. It was just nice to be able to keep this incredibly Irish vein down the middle of what the other way is not at all. A song associated with Irish voices or anything. So Tara did a spectacular job on that. Unbelievable. But Tara will be a company on some of the gigs, isn't she? Tara is going to join us actually for the Young Rainier gig. We haven't confirmed her yet now. We haven't confirmed her yet now. We haven't confirmed her yet now. But yeah, Damian McGeehan is actually joining us for the Baller gigs. Oh, excellent. Very good. So you're looking forward to three nights. That's just going to be spectacular. And of course, I've no doubt nerve-wracking as well. But every confidence that you'll do because I think we're on the verge of something very, very special here in the four reviews, guys. And I actually admire the way he's handled this whole thing. There's no after-bots. You just straight on and get that. But you have big news for us tonight here on the Monday night sessions, am I right? Well, I think I just can't help saying it there. Nobody's listening. LAUGHTER Yeah, we're... There's been a lot of people messaging us over the last week or so asking about the second show on the Angraean. So today we just confirmed the second show on the Angraean. Second show? What date's that? That'll be Thursday the 25th of May. OK. And tickets go on sale when? Wednesday morning. We're not sure what time yet. They're probably around 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning. OK, folks, you've heard it here. I'll keep it on Facebook tomorrow. You've heard it here first. Wednesday morning. We can't confirm the time yet, but you will be aware for a knower. They have just booked another gig in Angraean Theatre. And we were talking to the people from Angraean and apparently it's sort of a historical marker that's just done because I don't think anybody sold out online before like that. So it just speaks volumes. And people are really excited about your music. So we can't wait to hear them. And I think me and Jimmy's doing a wee bit of introducing on stage, are we? I think we are. As our people talk to their people, what ways are we going? Sign the contract, did you? Oh, you didn't sign it? Oh, we're going nowhere. Come here now. I know you're all in a hurry. And this is the same thing. I appreciate you put the DeGaler Force because it's big news for us. What date is that second gig? What date is that second gig again? The first one is... The first one that we went on sale was the 26th. So the second one is actually the Thursday, the night before. Right. You got that, Jimmy, right? So we will keep our listeners up to date about that. Come here. I just want to say we're going to play a couple of tracks together. We're going to play the part in class. God, you just do that amazingly. So well done again and that. It feels great to hear them back again, you know. So... And you're possibly catching up with a very good friend of ours, Alistair Hayes. So you never know what might happen there by Emil Guitars. An outstanding outfit from Donny Gall here as well. Yeah. So, you're not... We're not going to talk about that, are we? But you'll... We're looking forward to that, are we? We'll see how you get on. You let me know how you get on. Come here. Thank you very much. We threw this together and because... Jeremy, do you come in now? I'm on ahead on, Jeremy. I'm out in the cold here outside. I can see him. I can actually see him and he's got a petted lip. I don't know where the winds go. I'm on ahead on on, Jeremy. Do you not feel one of the band or what? Or what's wrong? They don't actually let me look them in the eye, you know. Don't you worry about it. You also get the better of them. Come here. Tom McHugh and Dean Conahan and Jeremy McGee and Declan Gahan. Listen, thanks very much, lads. We really appreciate it. We cannot wait to hear or to go along and catch you live. It's going to be really exciting. And tickets go on sale this Wednesday morning for a second gig and on Greenland Theatre. So, well done. The best of luck, lads. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much. Take it easy. That is a band that are just going to blow you out of the water when you get a chance to go along and hear them. And we are really excited about it. So, well done. Create new music. Ticking songs that are old songs. And then, as I say, just going in and taking the mad word brilliant, brilliant song. And their version of it is just amazing. But I think we'll give it a wee spin here now. Here we go.
