Live Band from Evesham
Read all about us !!!
THE IRONY The irony are a live band from Evesham 0n the edge of the Cotswold’s with there own unique sound, whose songs range from slow melodic acoustic ambience to middle end electric rock with instantly catchy melodies and lyrics, which you will find yourself singing even after a first listen. It's for that reason people come back to see the irony show after show.
All the bands' songs are written by front man, Evesham local David Hughes, David tells stories within his songs and all the songs have meanings to which the audience can relate to, people always want to know what happens next in the story and it's for that reason that the audience are kept transfixed. If you like to hear lyrics the irony tick all the boxes. The irony got together in 2004 with front man David Hughes and bassist Barrie White writing material previous to the band forming.
The rest of the band comprise of Adam Ealey (keyboards) and Loz Hancock (drums).
