History

The All Ireland Talent Show

Na Fianna have been playing together since March 2007. The lads are all highly skilled musicians and powerful singers too. Over the past four years they have travelled and played in many noted venues all over Ireland as they embrace the songs and stories of the past whilst succeeding in making each one their own. They have toured the UK, France, the Netherlands and Belgium. They are now under the management of Darren Farrell and have recently signed a recording contract with Trad Nua. In 2009, Na Fianna entered the All Ireland Talent Show to rapturous applause. With an average viewing audience of 700,000 people and four live performances on National Television, Na Fianna finished in 2nd Place out of over 6,000 competitors.

2010-present

They recorded a live Album and live DVD which is available online from their website. They signed to a new record company Trad Nua. Na Fianna have currently finished recording for their new album recorded in Cauldron Studios with Bill Shanley which will be released with Trad Nua this April 2015.
