RAGLANS
www.facebook.com/Raglans
Formed in a festival tent in 2010 Dublin based 4 piece band Raglans launched the same year.
Raglans are Stephen Kelly (lead vocals, guitar, banjo, mandolin), Ros Horan (bass, backing vocals),
Conn ORunaidh (drums, backing vocals) and Liam Morrow (lead guitar, mandolin, backing vocals).
Raglans blaze a trail of muscular new wave guitars, gritty pop melodies and uplifting indie folk arrangements that hops, skips and jumps with a skill and confidence far beyond their short lifespan and brought them The King Kong Club crown late in 2011, the prize, a recording session with Morrissey’s co- writer/arranger/guitarist Boz Boorer in his Sierra Alta studio.
Raglans kick started 2012 in an imperious fashion with the witty, charmingly shot Beatlesque video for “The Man From Glasgow” (filmed by “insanely talented” young Finn Kennan) clocking up thousands of YouTube hits.
