The Fynches are an Irish folk-rock band led by brothers Ferdia and Oisín Walsh-Peelo, blending early-70s swagger with rich vocal harmonies, soulful keys, evocative lyricism and soaring strings. Completing the line-up are Cian O’Sullivan (drums), Fionn O’Neill (bass) and Julianne Quirke (cello).

Raised in a musical family in County Wicklow, Ferdia and Oisín have spent the past decade developing their songwriting partnership, built around interlocking harmonies and a shared love of experimentation. Their self-titled debut album was released in October 2025, followed by extensive Irish, UK and European touring. Renowned as an electrifying live act, the band’s music ranges from brooding ballads to raucous crowd-pleasers.

Oisín has toured and recorded with Villagers, Flyte, Hudson Taylor and Bombay Bicycle Club, while Ferdia is known for starring in Sing Street, CODA, Pistol and Four Letters of Love. The Fynches have also earned acclaim through RTÉ Radio 1, The Late Late Show and live performances across Ireland.

In June 2026, the band recorded their second album at Middle Farm Studios in Devon with producer Pete Miles. Written, recorded, mixed and mastered in just one month, the album marks a new chapter in their songwriting and is set for release in March 2027.
