Kingfishr

Kingfishr

Formed while members Eddie (vocals, guitar), McGoo (banjo), and Fitz (bass) were studying engineering at university in Limerick, Irish trio Kingfishr lean into their heritage with traditional instruments and poetic songwriting. Kingfishr’s music is hugely cinematic, they pride themselves on deep textures and a grand sonic atmospheric nature, with influences ranging from Hans Zimmer to Ben Howard. They have racked up over 20 million streams on Spotify to date, with three of their previous releases being performed on The Independent's live music session Music Box. Watch here. Kingfishr have previously supported world-famous rock legend Bruce Springsteen at BST, as well as George Ezra and Dermot Kennedy. Festival appearances to date include Electric Picnic (main stage), Neighbourhood Weekender, Live At Leeds, Latitude, All Points East, Sea Sessions and Indiependence. They have also made appearances on BBC Introducing Belfast and performed on Irish TV Series Other Voices.
