Amble

Amble is an Irish folk band formed in 2022. The band is made up of members Robbie Cunningham, Oisín McCaffrey, and Ross McNerney.

The band was originally formed by Cunningham and McCaffrey as a duo in 2022. Their main aim was to play cover songs in pubs in order to obtain free pints. McNerney was added to the band due to his skills playing the mandolin and banjo.

After playing a concert in Leitrim, McNerney suggested that the band become a serious endeavour. At the time, McCaffrey was working as a data scientist and programmer at Pfizer, Cunningham was a primary school teacher in Terenure, and McNerney was a secondary school teacher.

By 2024, all three members had quit their jobs after signing a recording contract with Warner Records. When Cunningham told his father that he would quit his job, his father responded with the phrase, "throw the trout out to catch the salmon". The phrase, which the band has described as "resonating", has appeared on official merchandise.
