Apella perform at IMRO First Cuts at Abner Brown's on Wednesday 27th June 2018.

IMRO First Cuts Showcases at Abner Brown’s features the best up and coming as well as established Irish acts. In the intimate setting performers are given the opportunity to debut new tracks along with their current material.

In September 2016 Apella burst onto the scene with their debut single ‘We Met At A Party’ to huge support from both national and regional radio stations, the track is a serious declaration of intent from singer/multi-instrumentalist Dara Quilty and drummer Ronan Nolan; who’ve previously shared a stage with the A-List likes of Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters, Twenty One Pilots, 30 Seconds To Mars, and even Bon Jovi. It’s no wonder then that Apella arrived fully formed and ready to win musical hearts and minds. Both ‘We Met A Party’ and the preceding single ‘Graceful Dancer’ make you want to hit the ‘repeat’ button as soon as they finish. That type of smart, sassy writing is repeated throughout their parent album, which showcases the duo’s new and ever expanding sound. With much more to come from, Apella are a band to keep your eye on and ears open to.
