Rawney

Hailing from the musical melting pot of Clonakilty in West Cork, Rawney (aka Ciarán Calnan) is an alt-rock singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with over 20 years of performing experience. His national TV debut on RTÉ One’s acclaimed series Seisiún in October 2025 marked a significant step forward, introducing his music to a wider audience following the release of his critically acclaimed 2022 debut EP Say It Loud, which was followed by two national tours.

His sound has drawn comparisons to the likes of The Frames, Stereophonics, Incubus, Mic Christopher and Foo Fighters.

A seasoned live performer, he has spent the past decade performing extensively across Ireland, the UK, Europe, North America, Australia and Asia. Highlights include headline shows in some of Ireland's top venues including DeBarra's, Whelan's and Coughlan's, festival appearances and support slots with the likes of Mundy, Mick Flannery and Susan O'Neill.

The renewed focus on original material in recent years which led to his debut release is beaing fruit, and
with new music and a supporting tour planned for 2026, Rawney continues to build a strong and credible presence on the Irish music scene and beyond.
