The Half Room

The Half Room features the beautiful vocals of renowned Dingle singer Pauline Scanlon, the velvety richness of singer-songwriter Nicola Joyce, from celebrated Galway trio The Whileaways, and the earthy authenticity of vocalists Eoin Wynne and Fabian Joyce. Bonded by their mutual passion for folk songs and singing, their debut self-titled album is a year in the making and a lifetime in the living, reflecting their profound connection to the music they make. With minimalist guitar arrangements and subtle accompaniment, The Half Room ensures the spotlight remains firmly on the song and the singer, as they bring together the broader folk traditions of America and Europe with Ireland.
