They’ve spent a majority of the year in recluse, but our hearts have only grown founder for Letterkenny’s In Their Thousands.

❝Their opening move ‘To The Swell’ keeps the energy levels high without peaking to early. It garners a rambunctious ovation as Declan McClafferty pelts out the pensive lyrical nod to the sea lough which the revellers had traversed on the Ferry. The Letterkenny four-piece continue in the vein of the nautical theme with the story of fallen fisherman ‘The Old Man and The Sea’, a mighty eruption of rowdy rock. ❞
