Amble have become one of the most exciting success stories in contemporary Irish folk music, captivating audiences with their heartfelt songwriting, acoustic musicianship and distinctive storytelling. Formed in 2022, the trio consists of Robbie Cunningham from Leitrim, Oisín McCaffrey from Sligo and Ross McNerney from Longford. Their music combines traditional folk influences with contemporary songwriting, creating an intimate, emotionally rich sound that has resonated with listeners across Ireland and internationally.
The three musicians bring different instrumental talents to the group. Cunningham contributes vocals and guitar, McCaffrey performs guitar and vocals, while McNerney plays mandolin, bouzouki and banjo. Together, they create layered acoustic arrangements that place melody and storytelling at the centre of their music. The band formed after its members left their previous jobs to pursue music, beginning a journey that would eventually take them from their Irish roots to internationally recognised stages.
Amble's breakthrough reached another milestone in May 2025 with the release of their debut studio album, Reverie. The record debuted at number one on the Official Irish Albums Chart and became the biggest-selling Irish debut on that chart since Dermot Kennedy's 2019 release. Featuring songs including "Schoolyard Days", "Swan Song", "Lonely Island" and "Mary's Pub", the album showcased the trio's commitment to honest songwriting and acoustic performance. Remarkably, the album was recorded live in just one or two takes, preserving the natural character of their musicianship.
The band's achievements continued with recognition at the RTÉ Choice Music Prize awards, where they won Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Single of the Year for "Schoolyard Days". In September 2026, Amble celebrated another career milestone when "The Swell" became their first number-one single on the Official Irish Singles Chart. The song also features on their second studio album, Love and All Its Wares, scheduled for release on 29 January 2027 through Warner Records.
Throughout 2026, Amble expanded their international reputation with performances at Nashville's legendary Grand Ole Opry, Bonnaroo in Tennessee and Electric Picnic in Ireland. They also performed stadium support dates with Ed Sheeran and Dermot Kennedy, demonstrating how far their music had travelled since the band's formation.
Their five concerts at TF Royal Theatre in Castlebar from 17th to 21st December 2026 represent a particularly meaningful chapter in their story. Promoter MCD describes the performances as intimate homecoming shows, offering the trio an opportunity to finish an extraordinary year closer to home. Demand was so strong that two additional dates were announced, extending the original three-night run to five consecutive performances.
Fans travelling on the bus to Amble at TF Royal Theatre can look forward to experiencing the group's celebrated acoustic sound in a theatre environment.
