KONNO is an indie rock musician, singer-songwriter, and record producer from the west of Ireland.  

  

After years of producing and collaborating with other artists, KONNO rediscovered his grá for writing music and released his first self-produced single, ‘Meet Me Later’, at the end of 2024.  

 

Following on from the success of his debut single, KONNO is set to release his second single, ‘Dream Talks’, on the 29th of May 2025.  

  

Recognised nationally as RTÉ 2FM’s Grass Roots artist of the week, KONNO is one to watch for 2025. 

  

KONNO has never forgotten his Irish roots as the track was recorded in an old turf shed and the station house at Ballyglunin train station in Galway. 

  

Building off his success working behind the scenes on a number one single for RACHEL and opening for the Saw Doctors at various venues in the UK and Ireland with Darragh O'Dea and The Delicate Dogs, KONNO is taking centre stage with his own music. 

  

With a five-track debut EP in the works, ‘Dream Talks’, alongside, ‘Meet Me Later’, provides a glimpse into what’s to come from KONNO in 2025.

The Ralphs from Tuam, Co. Galway play rock n'roll - bullshit need not apply.

Debuting in November 2008, The Ralphs are partly a family affair, with brothers Jamie (Vocals/Guitar) & Leigh Ralph (Drums), their cousin Conor Ralph (Guitars), and friend Brian Ruane (Bass) forming the axis of the band. Their debut single in August 2009 'Waste of Time/Gunfire' earned them support slots with the likes of Delorentos, Fred, Ham Sandwich, and The Flaws, a session on 2fm, and also some nice words from the national press.

The Ralphs are looking onwards and upwards, and are about to release their debut E.P, '21st Century Window' in September 2010 which they hope will gain them an even wider following. Expect energy at their live shows, and if you're real lucky, chaos might even ensue.
