Amble is an Irish folk band formed in 2022. The band is made up of members Robbie Cunningham, Oisín McCaffrey, and Ross McNerney.
History
[edit]The band was originally formed by Cunningham and McCaffrey as a duo.[1] Their main goal was to play cover songs at pubs in order to obtain free pints.[1] McNerney was later added to the band by McCaffrey due to his skills playing the mandolin and banjo.[1] After playing a gig in Leitrim, McNerney suggested that the band become a serious endeavour.[1] At the time, McCaffrey was working as a data scientist and programmer at Pfizer,[1][2][3] Cunningham was a primary school teacher in Terenure,[1][2][3][4] and McNerney was a secondary school teacher.[1][2][3] By 2024, all three members had quit their jobs after signing a record deal with Warner Records.[1][3][5] When Cunningham told his father that he would quit his job, his father responded with the phrase "throw the trout out to catch the salmon".[3] The phrase, which the band has described as resonating, has appeared on official merchandise.[3]
