The Whileaways

About the show

The band of "perfected simplicity", combine in sublime harmonies, singing songs they have mined from their own lived lives and the lives of others.
Multi folk award nominee’s The Whileaways have ingeniously solved the dilemma of having three lead singers by becoming, essentially, one stunning voice.
Their beautifully crafted original songs and harmonies are delivered beautifully from the stage. With a blend of storytelling and intimate conversation their live show is undeniably transporting and a testament of the dedicated fan base they now hold.
The Whileaways are Noelie McDonnell, Noriana Kennedy and Nicola Joyce, are three accomplished singers who had each toured and recorded extensively with their separate projects before coming together as a band. With over a dozen albums to their collective credit, and having played gigs and festivals all over the world, they began to admire each other’s singing at sessions in their home-town of Galway.
This trio of song-writers came together in 2012 and since then have released four critically acclaimed albums. Their spell-binding live performances have shown to be a special haven for fans with all of their shows selling out as part of their ‘In all Honesty’ Album launch tour last year. During lockdown The Whileaways made an exceptional contribution to entertaining their audience online with their weekly sharing of songs ‘Live from Home’. Their regular Sunday night performances via Facebook became a cherished opportunity for fans
