The Gold Tips

The Gold Tips - Ireland’s soul sensation

The Gold Tips blow a non-stop soul hurricane. They emerged out of Belfast, fully formed, some months ago. Their distinctive, righteous sound, created and driven by frontman Eamonn McNamee, is soaked in a deep love of Sam Cooke, Stax & rock n roll and has already seen them pack clubs and carry them to festival main stages.

The band opened for the legendary Nile Rodgers & Chic to a sell-out crowd at Custom House Square, Belfast in August 2021 and Van Morrison on the same stage in 2022.

Their debut album ‘Parade’ released in February last year, is a 9 track, horn-drenched, glorious squall forged in the great sounds of the past and sounding absolutely of the moment.

The follow up album, another future classic, is due for release in Spring 2024.

Next show is with the funk n soul legend Craig Charles in the Limelight, Belfast on 31st March - Easter Sunday!
