An evening with Brendan & Declan Murphy.

Mary; She Hits Me; Sunlight and moree?? The 4 of Us hold a critically-acclaimed back catalogue that spans 20 years and six Top 20 albums.

Now, Brendan & Declan Murphy of The 4 Of Us will perform the highlights of their current Live At Vicar Street album, along with new material at Riverbank Arts Centre.

Formed in Newry in the late 1980s by brothers Brendan, Declan and Paul Murphy, The 4 Of Us appeared out of nowhere in 1989 with the huge radio hit ‘Mary’, taken from their debut album ‘Songs For the Tempted’.

Wary of the transient nature of pop, the band’s 1992 follow-up, ‘Man Alive’, was a more rock-driven album, featuring ‘She Hits Me’, a Top 30 hit in the UK.

From Mary - one of the most played Irish tracks on national and regional radio to the massive radio hit Sunlight,and much more, see The 4 of Us perform their hits as they were originally written, in an intimate acoustic setting.

‘The music brims with a palpable sense of the past, the acoustic guitars evoking a grand old era of folk, blues and R&B....’ Irish Times

‘SIMPLY HEAVENLY....music of a lasting quality’ IMRO MQ Magazine
