Strings & Things hail from Thurles, Tipperary. Coming from different musical backgrounds including trad/rock/pop/heavy rock and indie, they all played with various bands before meeting in October 2018 to make up the current line-up.

They perform a large repertoire of Irish songs, standard airs and traditional tunes produced in their own unique style. Playing around the south of Ireland the band was noticed online by Impact Promotions Ireland who invited them to perform at an original showcase platform in Co Cavan. They were also offered a three-month residency at the renowned Raglan Road venue in Orlando, Florida.

Back home in Ireland, the band were able to expand their gigs with Impact Promotions to perform in more counties throughout Ireland. This went extremely well for them and resulted in an invitation being received to travel to London for a mini-tour, where they then completed an amazing seven gigs in five days! The London audience loved them and as a result, a follow-up invitation was immediately issued.

In October 2018 they were offered a return period of one year from June 2019 to Raglan Road, Florida. They have used this opportunity to select 12 tracks from their many original songs/tunes for their new album "The Unsolicited Dance" which is about to be released.
