The Midnight Union Band:

A Short History:

One slow, wet Irish day while scuttling down some dark Kilkenny morning alleyway, one Mr. Brian McGrath came upon one Mr. Shane Joyce busking with nobody around to give him any money.
Brian liked what he heard and so he stopped to listen a while and though, tragically, he didn't give Shane any money, he asked him to join his new band and the seeds of The Midnight Union Band were sown.

In September 2014, The Midnight Union Band released their debut album, entitled Of Life And Lesser Evils which was met with high regards amongst fans and critics alike.

"A stunning debut album by an Irish band with one very bright future indeed" Rod McCance - The Thin Air Magazine

"This is one of those albums that reaffirm your faith in music and it shows that while we may increasingly be living in an X Factor gutter there are still musicians out there looking at the stars." Jeremy Searle - americanaUK

"It will require something exceptional between now and the end of the year to surpass Of Life and Lesser Evils as the best Irish album I've reviewed in 2014" - Remy's Music & Film Blog

After a short hiatus, the band, returned in 2017 with a large European tour and the release of some

much anticipated new music. That trend is set to continue in 2018 with the band set to play a number of shows and festivals again throughout the U.K., Germany and Ireland.
In Jan of 2018, The Midnight Union Band began recording their much anticipated follow up to "Of Life And Lesser Evils".
The band's seconds studio album will be hitting shelves later in the year.
