Twice Around The World is on the way, along with The Stunning.

The latest album from one of Ireland’s greatest serving bands lands this March with a Kilkenny gig lined up for April. The Stunning are on the road again.

In May 2017 the band released a brand new single Brighten Up My Life, their first in what felt like forever.

Flash forward to this coming March and the band will release Twice Around The World – their first studio album in over 20 years.

Never heard of The Stunning?

The Stunning formed in 1987 in Galway, Ireland. They had their first top twenty single a year later and two more top ten hits before their debut album hit the number one spot in 1990 and stayed there for 5 weeks.

Over the next year or so, there were four more hit singles, followed by another number one album. They released a live album in ’93 before splitting up a year later. After an absence of almost ten years, the band reformed for an 18-date tour. This, as it happened, turned out to be one of the highest-grossing tours in Ireland of 2003.

Just a few years ago, around 30,000 people turned out to see them play a free concert in their old hometown of Galway city.
