Cork-based eleven-man band The White Horse Guitar Club are set to perform in glór next Saturday (November 15th).
The group’s second studio album, Sos Beag, was released in early October. Recorded in the pub where the band first came together in 2012, the album blends original songs with reinterpretations of beloved tracks, reflecting the band’s philosophy of music as a means of connection.
Founding member Joe Philpott describes the album as “an attempt to make space for the quieter truths”.
Over the past decade, The White Horse Guitar Club has built a reputation for communal, moving performances, drawing audiences from intimate theatres to large festival stages. Their cover of Townes Van Zandt’s If I Needed You has been viewed over 1.7 million times on YouTube, while their rendition of Buddy and Julie Miller’s Wide River To Cross has also received widespread acclaim.
BBC presenter Cerys Matthews describes them as “a band that is taking Ireland, and the rest of the world, by storm”.
