Hailing from the rugged landscapes of Donegal and the vibrant music scene of Wexford, this dynamic two-piece are redefining what audiences can expect from a live acoustic performance.

Comprised of Matthew Crampsey and James O' Sullivan Crampsey and Co fuse the heart of traditional Irish music with the pulse of modern pop, creating a sound that is both electrifying and unmistakably Irish.

Matthew Crampsey - formerly of the well-known Irish band Ceol - commands the stage with guitar, stomp pedal, and powerful vocals, driving a full-band sound from just one performer. Alongside him, James also fotmerly of Ceol delivers soaring fiddle melodies that move effortlessly between high-energy jigs and reels and contemporary chart-topping anthems. Together, they create a wall of sound that feels far bigger than a two-piece.

Now stepping out as Crampsey and Co, they are bringing a fresh identity, bigger energy, and a festival-ready show that promises dancing from the first note to the last encore.

They have also released their debut EP titled "The Highland Heart EP" which features the Crampsey Original "Highland Heart" as well as classic covers of popular classics such as "little lion man" " The Glen" and "Crazy World"

• Explosive energy from a compact two-piece

• Seamless blends of Irish tradition and modern pop

• Crowd-driven performances that turn audiences into part of the show
