The eclectic line-up features no less than eight members, playing a vast array of instruments; Mark Flynn (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Martina Leonard (vocals, glockenspiel, melodica), Tracy O’Grady (fiddle), Joeby Browne (bass & backing vocals), Ian Devlin (lead guitar, charango, mandolin), Dave Keegan (drums), and the recent additions of Brian Duggan (Trumpet) and Lindy-Sue Dredge (Accordian).
The result is what local and national Irish Press have described as ‘an enticing home-brew of traditional music and left-field rock’, ‘remarkable’ and ‘top notch’.
The Blood Red Mountain Band used their raw and refreshing live shows to build a reputation as one of the best festival bands in town. To date they have featured at numerous high profile Irish festivals (e.g. Electric Picnic, Festival of World Cultures, Launch of Galway Arts Festival). Having also gained national media coverage, such as playing live on radio (Today FM, Newstalk FM and Phantom FM), the band have go on to work with established producer Karl Odlum (The Frames, Gemma Hayes, Fionn Regan), who has now produced their eponymous debut EP due for independent release on May 23rd.
