PRESENTED BY EMMA

Widely known for their explosive live performances, Keywest are a 5 piece Dublin based rock band comprising of Dublin & London born lads. Dublin members include singer Kav ( Andy Kavanagh ) and Glove ( Andrew Glover ) who plays Keys and rhythm guitar.

After starting the band as a two piece and playing in pubs around Dublin, they took the name Keywest after a trip to Florida for a gig. English lads Sam Marder on bass, Jimi Lock on lead guitar and drummer H ( Harry Sullivan ) were added following a similar trip to Los Angeles where the lads became good friends and stayed in contact.

After making the decision for the English trio to move over to Ireland, other obstacles became apparent to the band. One such obstacle was how a difficult move to Ireland could work, financially. Gigs were few and far between for a new band so Keywest in traditional fashion, avoided the slow gig scene and took to busking on the streets. Wise or unwise the band began honing their sound and style on the streets and quickly became famous for busking on Shop Street in Galway and Grafton Street in Dublin. From the second their first chord was struck on the street to now, what the band have achieved independently both here and abroad is astonishing.

Keywest are one of the most played Irish bands on the radio. After performing a sell out tour of the country and exceeding a whopping 2 million youtube views, their popular is rapidly growing. 30,000 people like them on Facebook, 20,000 ears want to hear what they have to say on Twitter and they have graced stages like Oxegen, Galway Arts, Volvo Ocean Race, Live At The Marquee in Cork and the O2 in Dublin.
