We welcome to our studios Brian O'Mahoney and Frank McMahon, who both sing and play, respectively, guitar and mandola, and banjo in the Barcelona-based post-Irish band Los Stompers. Los Stompers have just released their fifth album, entitled The Harold Spencers, and are presenting this their latest release to music lovers in Madrid. Tomorrow Brian and Frank will be joined by the band's other three members, Dara Luskin, bass and vocals, David Holmes on violin, accordion and keyboards, and drummer and percussionist Marcos López for a concert at Madrid's Café de la Palma. On their website ( www.losstompers.com ) you can read the following about this dynamic band:
"Formed in Barcelona towards the end of the 90’s, post-Irish group Los Stompers have become, over the years, a reference point on the Catalan music scene. Their approach, evolving from traditional Irish folk roots, has gradually become more personal, developing into what they call the Barcelona Irish Sound; Irish music beyond the turn of the century, far away from home. A breakthrough in musical cross-breeding, injected with healthy doses of irony" (04/06/14).
