PROTON POOL PARTY

Proton Pool Party are brothers Davy & Matthew Byrne from Killybegs, Donegal.
They released their debut single 'He Likes Flowers' in July 24.
It has received airplay throughout Ireland, on Banks Radio in Oz and on SiriusXM in the U.S. "He Likes Flowers" was favorably reviewed by Hot Press magazine. (see Proton Pool Party FB page).
It has amassed over 19,000 streams across major streaming platforms to date.

Proton Pool Party were selected as one of Ocean FMs' entrants for the New Local Hero competition in September '24 following the successful launch of their debut single.

Davy is a singer and guitarist who has been gigging and writing songs for seven years.
Matthew is a guitarist whose previous band won the acclaimed Letterkenny International Buskers festival in 2022. He is currently studying music in NUIG.

Thanks to Moya Brennan of Clannad fame, these guys have opened for such music luminaries as Ralph McTell, The Four of Us, Duke Special & Luka Bloom. Moya is a wonderful mentor and friend to Davy & Matthew, selflessly and generously advising them. Proton Pool Party regularly perform at her Clubeo showcase events.

"He Likes Flowers" was recorded in Clannad's studio in Wicklow, produced by Paul Jarvis and mastered by Peter Montgomery.

''The Sand'' is the title of their follow up single, released in April 2025.
It was produced at Valley Music Studios by Terry McGinty (producer of Muireann Bradley's album).

Proton Pool Party have previously played live on Highland Radio and were invited back in March to debut their new single, ''The Sand''.

Davy and Matthew are ambitious and keen to share their original music with a wider audience.
They have a catalogue of material which is well received at gigs, though yet to be recorded.
Attendance at Irish Music Week 2026 will align with their '25-'27 plan by building their network and visibility, enabling them to gig around Ireland, act as support to bands of similar music style and hopefully achieve a slot at great Irish festivals close to home such as Stendhal and others further afield. U.K. showcases like the Great Escape are medium term goals while still recording new material.

UPDATE... Proton Pool Party are (as in last week of May) recording the follow-up to "The Sand".
They are busy in Moya Brennan's Wicklow studio with producer Paul Jarvis. Stay engaged!

AND... their 3rd single "Stone Cold Killer" is set for release on the 12th September 25!!!!!
It is now available on all platforms and is already receiving positive reviews
The lads recently played the Balor Theatre in Ballybofey as an electrified four piece, delivering a set of all original songs to a large, appreciative audience.
The band has been augmented by the addition of new members Adam Cullen (guitar) and Davie Brady on drums.

The most recent radio appearance was a live performance on Highland Radio, Monday Sep.22nd.
Proud to announce that we played Roisin Dubh ,Galway on Wed Oct 29th,supporting Bog Project.

Even prouder to announce that we are booked to play the Roisin Dubh on Friday Dec 19th.
Back in studio working on new material, this gig will be a great opportunity to air a new number before it's January release alongside previously released numbers and some interesting(seasonal?) covers!

New Year...new releases ..new gigs, all tba soon.
