The Donnys

The Donnys are an exciting and vibrant rock and roll experience born and bred in Kilkenny.
Described by Hot Press magazine as “raucous rhythm ‘n’ booze” their infections brand of music is both steeped in 70s blues rock while dabbling in more modern punk and noise rock influences.

Going from strength to strength since their formation in late 2021, they’ve secured support slots with Irish legends such as The Stunning, Kerbdog and The Undertones as well as expanding their reach to venues and festivals all over Ireland including biblical performances on the Salty Dog stage at Electric Picnic in both 2023 and 2024.

2024 was nothing but high points with April 5th seeing the release of their acclaimed debut album ‘Get Active’ and a subsequent tour spanning Dublin, Cork, Galway, Kilkenny, Waterford and Drogheda. After this the band played their biggest headline show to date in their home town of Kilkenny in Pegasus Nightclub which was filmed for RTE 1 and will be broadcasted summer of 2025.

The lads are currently polishing off an EP to be toured, merchandised and pressed on vinyl with the first of the singles coming early 2025.
