The Monaghan based band consists of Charlie Livingstone (Acoustic Guitar/Lead Vocals) Gregory O’Neill (Bass/Backing Vocals) Daniel Mahony (Piano/Backing Vocals) Shay Sweeney (Drums/Percussion) and Chris Cole (Lead Guitar).

In 2017 the band were winners of the “Best Newcomer” Award and Nominee for “EP of the Year” at the PureM Awards. They supported the release of their EP on the festival circuit; performing to crowds at Vantastival, YouBloom, Electric Picnic, Whelans 'Ones to Watch' and Taste to name just a few, as well as supporting The Hothouse Flowers, The Riptide Movement, The Magic Numbers and Ryan Sheridan.
2018 will see the boys collaborating with Ryan Sheridan for the recording and release of their second EP, along with a tour of Ireland, the release of their single and some tashty slots on the festival scene to boot.

"The lads of Lowlight Gathering made a highly polished and emotive EP ‘Young Hearts’... Fronted by the dexterous voice of Charlie Livingstone, Lowlight Gathering’s lush balladry is pock marked with sumptuous backing vocals and delicately placed weeping guitar."

"This harmonious delight of an EP fills the room with its sparseness allowing the listener to fill those spaces with their own emotions becoming part of the experience. These songs are like old friends coming home to keep you company while the world spins and turns outside a window you have no interest in looking out of. The timelessness of the arrangements and vocal harmonies allows these experiences of emotional connection to happen and it’s so easy to get lost within Young Hearts while you are carried away to the world of Lowlight Gathering."
