About Kingfishr
Kingfishr is a folk-rock band from Limerick, Ireland, formed in 2022.
Kingfishr are Eddie Keogh, Eoghan "McGoo" McGrath and Eoin "Fitz" Fitzgibbon, who met while studying engineering at university in Limerick in 2017. Keogh sings lead and plays guitar and harmonica, McGrath plays banjo and guitar, and Fitzgibbon plays guitar, with all three contributing to the group's harmony vocals.
Their sound is rooted in folk-rock, with banjo and acoustic guitar underpinning large, harmony-led choruses, and draws on both Irish traditional playing and the wave of stadium-scale folk revivalism of the 2010s, built around Keogh's lead vocal and the group's close harmonies.
They built an audience quickly in Ireland through early singles such as "Flowers-Fire", released in 2022, and "Eyes Don't Lie", followed by the EP Shadow and a live recording, Live from Dublin, both released in 2024. Their live sets are built around communal singing.
The single "Killeagh" gave the band its first Irish number one, topping the Irish Singles Chart in May 2025. Their debut studio album, Halcyon, followed in August 2025, opening at number one in Ireland and reaching the top ten in the UK; a second Irish number one single, "The Sun Will Never Settle", followed in 2026.
