Ham SandwicH: The Albums Tour
Dolans Warehouse - Limerick, V94 PD79, Ireland
HamsandwicH have been one of Ireland’s most steady indie bands over the years as many
music acts and trends have come and gone. Not only has HamsandwicH survived but has
thrived as the band prepare to release their fifth album and their first Live album. One of
Ireland’s most enthralling live acts in the last 20 years, Kells, Co. Meath band HamsandwicH
are well known for their incendiary live performances which has established them as one of
the top touring acts in the country. Featuring their signature calling card of Niamh Farrell
powerful yet sweet vocal, Podge McNamee juxtaposing baritone, and Darcy’s soaring
guitar riffs, if ever there was a band to feed off their audience it is HamsandwicH; melodic,
hook-laden, and heart-warmingly charming.
Having previously sold-out Dublin’s prestigious 3Olympia Theatre three times, the band
celebrated their 20th anniversary by returning to the legendary venue on October 21st, 2023.
The band performed a career spanning set-list featuring songs from across their four studio
albums “Carry the Meek” (2008), “White Fox” (2010), “Stories From The Surface” (2015),
and “Magnify” (2023).
The night was recorded by the band’s longtime soundman Darren Clarke and will be
released as the band’s first live album in conjunction with Dublin Vinyl on March 15 th , 2024.
The album will also be available on digital platforms.
Niamh- “We are all so excited to finally get to release our very first proper LIVE album! It
was such a pleasure to have a gig once again in such an iconic venue and we were
delighted that we got such a good recording that we had to what it! I think we have
managed to capture the party atmosphere and put it onto vinyl, we hope people will enjoy
listening to it!”
Podge - “Some of my favourite albums of all time are live albums. Johnny Cash at Folsom
prison and Radiohead live in Galway in the mid-90s have been on repeat. It’s something we
always wanted to do as a band, and we’ve had countless people tell us we are better live
than on record. Back at the start it would have been the complete reverse. I think this album
encapsulates who we are as a band more than any studio album could ever do and captures
us in our purest form, there’s an energy and even a childlike silliness we’ve had on stage
from day one and it’s amazing to have that oozing out of speakers. It’s the closest I’ll get to
seeing HamsandwicH live and I’m all in!”
