THE FIRST six months of 2014 have been pretty good for Galway roots, trad, and bluegrass band We Banjo Three, and they are set to cap it all with the release of their new album.
In March, the band were nominated in the Best Newcomer category in the Songlines Magazine Awards; they are currently playing the Banco de La Republica festival in Columbia; and they play the Galway International Arts Festival with a gig in Monroe’s Live on Wednesday July 23 at 8pm.
“It’s been a roller coaster,” band member Enda Scahill tells me. “The last six months have been really busy, we’ve played some major festivals such as Temple Bar Trad Fest and Celtic Connections in Glasgow, we had a sold-out Music Network tour of Ireland, we spent a month in Texas and Florida in March, and then recorded, mixed, mastered, designed and printed our new album in four weeks flat! We’re also going to be in six different countries in June.”
