History

[edit]

Na Mooneys was formed in late 2013 / early 2014 by Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh (from Irish folk music band Altan) and her siblings Anna Ní Mhaonaigh and Gearóid Ó Maonaigh along with Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh's nephew, Ciarán Ó Maonaigh, on the occasion of the very last Frankie Kennedy Winter School which occurred in Gweedore, County Donegal, Ireland[nb 1] where they performed their first ever show.

On their Facebook page (created on 7 January 2016), the band describe themselves as «a family of musicians & singers from the Donegal Gaeltacht» playing Irish traditional music.[1]

The band Na Mooneys recorded their debut (eponymous) album Na Mooneys in early 2016[2][3][4]inManus Lunny's studios in County Donegal, Ireland. The album was released on 6 October 2016.
