Originating as a weekly gathering of friends with a shared passion for folk songs The Half Room would evolve into a harmonious ensemble, ready to make their mark in the folk music scene.
Featuring some of Ireland's most esteemed singers and artist The Half moon comprises of vocalists Pauline Scanlon, Nicola Joyce, Eoin Wynne and Fabian Joyce creating a unique and striking blend.
Rooted in the Irish traditional canon, while also drawing from American and European folk traditions, The Half Room's self-titled debut album is the culmination of a year's work and a lifetime of love for the music they sing.
The Half Room's arrangements are simple yet powerful, allowing their vocals and storytelling to shine. With minimalist guitar and subtle ambient accompaniment, their songs range from tales of the battlefields of Flanders to the turbulent seas of Lisbon, offering listeners a rich tapestry of harmonies and emotion.
The album The Half Room is available through all streaming platforms.
