They have sold out hundreds of shows, in Ireland and the US, made numerous TV appearances and achieved platinum status in Ireland with both albums. On their new album Memory Lane, The High Kings showcase their incredible versatility and skills as multi-instrumentalists, playing 13 instruments between the four of them, bringing arousing acoustic flavor to brand new songs as well as some old favorites. Memory Lane captures the ensembles energetic sound of 'folk n roll', serving up laughter, good times and even the occasional sing-a-long. Don't miss your opportunity to see THE HIGH KINGS live!
