Amble
Amble is an Irish folk band formed in 2022. The band's members are Robbie Cunningham, Oisín McCaffrey, and Ross McNerney. The band was originally formed by Cunningham and McCaffrey as a duo in 2022. Their main aim was to play cover songs in pubs in order to obtain free pints. McNerney was added to the band due to his skills playing the mandolin and banjo. After playing a concert in Leitrim, McNerney suggested that the band become a serious endeavor. At the time, McCaffrey was working as a data scientist and programmer at Pfizer, Cunningham was a primary school teacher in Terenure, and McNerney was a secondary school teacher in Longford. By 2024, all three members had quit their jobs after signing a recording contract with Warner Records. 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". The phrase, which the band has described as "resonating", has appeared on official merchandise. .

About This Event
If Ambles debut EP, 2023s Amble (Live) introduced a new, musing, trad-tinged trio of songwriters to the Irish music scene, 2025s highly distinctive Hand Me Downs finds the group expanding their sound to an ever-more global audience. The unique perspective of three individual songwriters creates a peerless body of work - built on the now familiar, ruminative observations on the world and more fitting to the Amble journey - the stories unfolding each day within it.
