PIG TALES
Whelan’s Upstairs • Sat 24th January 2026
Telly Club launch their debut E.P. ‘We Didn’t Mean to Go To Sea’, live at Whelan’s on the 24th of January 2026.
Hailing from the slightly passive streets of South Dublin and North Wicklow, Telly Club formed in late 2022 on the first day Alan Bright and James Culhane met. Unable to fathom making music without their dear and darling friend Cillian Ó Siochfhradha, they vowed to teach him the bass. After rehearsing in the shed at the back of his house for several months, they eventually found Naoise Mac Conghail and have forced him to play drums ever since.
Citing references such caroline and feeble little horse, the band mix sparkly, crunchy guitar and poignant, melodic vocals create mesmerising walls of sound that need to be heard to be believed. The five and a half tracks that make up their debut EP were honed by months of hard work and seconds of abstract thought. Recorded in an improvised studio in the back room of bass player Cillian Ó Siochfhradha’s house, the recording process required buckets of tears and gallons of sweat, but fortunately very little blood. The end product oscillates between the tragic and the triumphant, resulting in about twenty five minutes of misery or victory depending on the whims of the listener.
