Kingfishr

On 13 June 2026 at Malahide Castle in Malahide, Ireland, Kingfishr step up with a set built around their folk-leaning indie sound. Formed in Limerick during their university years, the trio unites singer-guitarist Eddie Keogh with bandmates McGoo and Fitz. Their writing blends melodic folk with a light alternative rock edge and a touch of indie pop, carried by close vocal harmonies, acoustic-led arrangements and restrained percussion. The lyrics often circle landscapes, family ties and the shift into adulthood.

First shared online before a run of singles, tracks like Flowers-Fire and Anyway sketch the project’s contours: wide choruses, gradual builds and a preference for clarity over ornament. On stage, the band keeps things direct, letting the songs breathe before lifting into bigger refrains. For Malahide Castle, Kingfishr draw from their recent releases and road-tested cuts from gigs across Ireland and the UK, shaping a live flow that moves from intimate textures to fuller swells without losing the grounded feel at the core of their music.
