banríon

Banríon hails from Phibsborough, Dublin and has been making music for the last five years. Banríon began as a bedroom-indie soundcloud project for songwriter Ní Haicéid to keep busy during a year housebound whilst on the waitlist for major surgery.

From 2020 on, the project transitioned into a blazing indie rock band; releasing two EPs, playing countless DIY shows across Ireland and larger stages at Other Voices, All Together Now, and supporting the likes of Pillow Queens, NewDad and Lime Garden.

Banríon has recently parted from the indie-rock four-piece format to a folk-leaning solo project. She has worked with collaborators such as Stephen Star, Henry Earnest, and Passersby to create an intimate and stripped-back live show that debuted its new sound at All Together Now, 2024. Her most recent single, ‘17 Egg’, reflects this new sonic direction of pairing things back to display her songwriting skills front and centre.
