Emmet Scanlan & What The Good Thought released ‘Superstore Flowers’ in January, the first single from their album ‘Hands’ due for release in late 2020.
Emmet was born and bred in Newcastle West, Limerick but a passion for music drew him to arts-mecca Galway, where the band was formed in 2005. The aim was to create a distinctive sound, incorporating many genres and musicians from different backgrounds.
The current line-up consists of an Irishman, Swedes, a New Zealander, and a few Englishmen, and the band’s sound is a hybrid of folk, blues, soul and roots.
Emmet Scanlan & What the Good Thought have played at Electric Picnic, Galway Arts Festival, Wickerman Festival in Scotland and The International Folk Alliance in Memphis (twice!).
Emmet Scanlan plays Cleary’s Bar (Window Sessions), Newcastle West on Saturday March 7.
