Na Fianna have been playing together since March 2007. The lads are all highly skilled musicians and powerful singers too.

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.
