Musically, they echo the profound integrity of Folk with songwriting that is modern, never anachronistic. There’s a special deftness to Kinsella’s cello which weaves and underpins Quirke’s vulnerably introspective and knowing lyricism delivered with gentle defiance.
Live performances are filled with chemistry and humour “intoxicating and sassy” (Journal of Music). Simply put, Lemoncello charm audiences with charisma and personality that is irresistible and comparable to the luminaries of French chanson, Brel and Piaf.
To date, they have released Two Eps – 2018’s Stuck Upon The Staircase which includes the slow burning hit Mantlepiece (in excess of 1.5 million online streams) and 2020’s Oil and Watercomplete with House Of Cards which reflects on the temporality of human desire and need through the hard learned wisdom of youth.
Lemoncello have collaborated and performed with esteemed artists including Joshua Burnside (Quirke And Burnside’s Taking The Wheel was nominated for Best Folk Song at RTE Folk Awards 2021), David Keenan, Sam Amidon, Lisa O’Neill, CMAT, The Mary Wallopers, and Cormac Begley amongst many others. 2022 will see the release of Lemoncello’s highly anticipated debut album produced by Julie McClarnon.
