PROTON POOL PARTY

Proton Pool Party are brothers Davy & Matthew Byrne from Killybegs, Donegal.
They released their debut single 'He Likes Flowers' in July 24.
It has received airplay throughout Ireland, on Banks Radio in Oz and on SiriusXM in the U.S. "He Likes Flowers" was favorably reviewed by Hot Press magazine. (see Davy and Matthew Music FB page).
It has amassed over 15,000 streams across major streaming platforms to date.

Proton Pool Party were selected as one of Ocean FMs' entrants for the New Local Hero competition in September 24 following the successful launch of their debut single.

Davy is a singer and guitarist who has been gigging and writing songs for seven years.
Matthew is a guitarist whose previous band won the acclaimed Letterkenny International Buskers festival in 2021. He is currently studying music in NUIG.

Thanks to Moya Brennan of Clannad fame, these guys have opened for such music luminaries as Ralph McTell, The Four of Us, Duke Special & Luka Bloom. Moya is a wonderful mentor and friend to Davy & Matthew, selflessly and generously advising them. Proton Pool Party regularly perform at her Clubeo showcase events.

"He Likes Flowers" was recorded in Clannad's studio in Wicklow, produced by Paul Jarvis and mastered by Peter Montgomery.

''The Sand'' is the title of their follow up single, released in April 2025.
It was produced at Valley Music Studios by Terry McGinty (producer of Muireann Bradley's album).

Proton Pool Party have previously played live on Highland Radio and are invited back on 24th March to play their new single, ''The Sand''.

Davy and Matthew are ambitious and keen to share their original music with a wider audience.
They have a catalogue of material which is well received at gigs, though yet to be recorded.
Proton Pool Party would love to attend Ireland Music Week to showcase their original material and meet with industry professionals to help develop their career.
Attendance at Irish Music Week would align with their '25-'26 plan by building their network and visibility, enabling them to gig around Ireland, act as support to bands of similar music style and hopefully achieve a slot at The Great Escape in '26 while still recording their own material.

UPDATE... Proton Pool Party are currently (as in last week of May) recording the follow-up to "The Sand".
They are busy in Moya Brennan's Wicklow studio with producer Paul Jarvis. Stay engaged!
