About Kingfishr:
Kingfishr offer an earnest, pop-inflected Irish indie folk that’s suited for the festival stage as well as the beer garden. Starting out as an acoustic trio, the group went to the top of the singles chart in Ireland with 2024’s “Killeagh,” a heartfelt tribute to a sport club in the village in County Cork. Featuring fuller arrangements and bringing electric components into the mix, they made their full-length major-label debut a year later with Halcyon.
Kingfishr was founded by singer/guitarist Edmond “Eddie” Keogh, banjo player Eoghan “McGoo” McGrath, and bassist Eoin “Fitz” Fitzgibbon, who all met in the master’s program for engineering at the University of Limerick. They graduated, then started writing songs together during sustained periods of sheltering from the COVID-19 pandemic. The trio debuted on streaming services with a live track in 2022, and before the end of the year, they landed in Ireland’s Top 40 with both “Flowers-Fire” and a studio version of earlier single “Eyes Don’t Lie.” The EP Live from Doonane appeared in 2023, and that year they had their third Top 40 hit with the stand-alone single “Caroline.”
