Elbé

elbé is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Seamus Allen and the perfect vehicle for his indie songs that are blended with folk, traditional music and pop elements.

Nora Frederich's intuitive, groove-based drumming and James Moone’s melodic and nifty bass lines make up a strong rhythm section. Emily Naughton is a vastly experienced keys player; her creative melodies dance in and out, adding colour to the songs.

Songwriter Seamus Allen takes inspiration from real life experiences and day-to-day events he witnesses in his life. In an attempt to make these relatable and give meaning to the listener, he describes events in a metaphorical and poetic way.

The Cork band has released numerous singles and three EPs which gained attention from BBC Introducing, FM104, RedFM and 98FM. elbé's latest singles have been played on BBC Ulster, Classic Hits FM, KCLR 96fm, 98fm, Radio Nova and were added to Goldenplec's New Irish Music playlist.

‘Hazy’ is about those unexpected experiences that occur, when the air is electrifying and the energy from the people around us is contagious. It’s about letting go of your stress and worries and being in the moment, if ever briefly. The song concludes with how lucky you are if you finish the day in the arms of someone you love.
