- Tagline
- Folk, trad and a healthy mix of harmonies.
- Me, Myself, and I
- Amber Moon was formed in October 2006, when Guitarist Bean Dolan, Vocalist Annie Hynes and Flautist Fiona Ducke came together to form a Trad based Irish group in the midlands.
They immediately went about building up a repitour of Irish songs, well structured traditional arangements, and a zesty mix of modern rock/jazz songs for when the occasion arose!
With Bean often taking to the microphone himself at times; it creates an added depth to the bands flowing harmonies. Annie also backs some tunes and songs on the mandolin when the time calls for it, whilst Fiona takes the listener on a melodical rollercoaster with her dazzling display of artistic expression.
Below are pictures, blog, tour dates and some demos from the first few weeks of Amber Moon together as a band. Enjoy!

You can also find the lads on myspace: www.myspace.com/drisheen
