The High Kings

14404 fans

Combining talents in 2008, the High Kings are an Irish supergroup comprised of ex-Clancy Brothers member Finbarr Clancy (born in Carrick-an-Suir, County Tipperary), ex-Bohinta member Martin Furey (born in Dunmore East, County Waterford) ex-Riverdance cast member Brian Dunphy (born in Dublin), and Darren Holden (born in County Kilkenny). The group introduced their traditional folk-preserving sound on their debut self-titled LP of 2008, which was certified platinum and went to number seven on the Irish Albums Chart, immediately marking them out as contemporary torchbearers of Celtic music. They have continuously charted in Ireland in the years since their debut, with 2010 follow-up Memory Lane going platinum and subsequent albums such as Friends for Life (2013), Grace & Glory (2016) and The Road Not Taken (2023) all hitting the Top 10. In 2024, the band's 2013 single found itself back in the charts thanks to a surge of popularity on TikTok.
