We are Sive and the Band. We’re not going to try to convince you that we’re the most amazingly original band you’ll ever hear, or tell you that someone somewhere once said that we’re the best thing since sliced bread. We’d much rather let you listen to our music and form your own opinion.

The band in its current form consists of songwriter Sadhbh O’Sullivan, guitarist Mark Dudley, bassist Eoin Hartwieg and drummer Patrick Hopkins. We’ve been rehearsing and gigging together in Ireland and beyond for two years and hope to continue to do so for as long as people will listen.

Our debut album, 'We Are Moving' was released on the 19th of April and can be downloaded from http://sivemusic.bandcamp.com If you like what you hear stick with us! :)

"Another captivating offer is Sive's Sunkissed, the enchanting vibe of which could well break hearts." - Jackie Hayden, Hot Press

“Sadhbh is no slouch. Guitar, piano, glockenspiel, percussion and melodica are just some of the instruments she plays. But perhaps her standout instrument is her voice, which sweeps along displaying folk and jazz nuances with the confidence of one who knows. Her fellow musicians are equally sophisticated, enhancing tracks with arpeggios, paradiddles and filigrees that sound as if they come via Greenwich Village (Burning Slowly), German Cabaret (Bicycle Song) or the English folk revival (Catching Waves).” - Eamon Carr, The Herald

“This is a true collaboration with the musical personalities shining through, and while all the songs have been written by O’Sullivan, the players offer many creative flourishes throughout. It is this originality and willingness to experiment with sound that raises ‘We Are Moving’ above most other releases from recent times…’We Are Moving’ is an album that reveals itself gradually, full of innovation and attention to detail, and what’s going on underneath the vocals is always interesting.” - Justin McDaid, Golden Plec
