The band of October 2013 comes from London: Darvra's Wave.
"The name Darvra’s Wave derives from the mythological Irish fairytale ‘The Children Of Lir’ as in the story it was upon Darvra’s Wave that the King’s four children were selfishly and deliberately turned into swans by their wicked Stepmother.
The band formed in 2008 and under various names and lineups have been performing around London and developing their own music and sound. Two members of the band are the writers behind the music and both are very distinctive and different but compliment each other well leading to a diverse creative celtic sound. Though all are experienced folk musicians and half the band have Irish connections they use their ideas and concepts from other genres such as jazz, classical, rock and pop to influence their overall progressive performance. For the listener there is something for everyone and the band are certainly not a one trick pony."
"Darvra’s Wave formally known as London Irish Band perform regularly around London and the UK and are soon to release their debut album ‘The Witches Recall.’ Their celtic rock sound is both modern, rhythmic and electric as well as acoustic, soulful and ambient and the new album features both songs and instrumentals composed by two contrasting writers in the group."
