Find Joy

Find Joy is an indie act from the northern part of County Dublin, bringing its songs to a London stage at West Hampstead Arts Club. The project draws on guitar, bass, synths and layered vocals.

Find Joy grew out of home-studio recording sessions in which Tadhg Kelly, on vocals, and Mark Allidine, on guitar, made tracks while Allidine was studying creative music production. An early collaboration with vocalist Colleen Conlon, the song 'White Lies', marked the group's first steps.

Their latest single, 'Departed', comes from their second EP and was produced by Allidine. Its driving rhythm rests on a strong bass groove and synth melodies from Oscar Kelly, while the chorus carries a catchy vocal hook sung by Tadhg Kelly and Conlon. The lyrics address the early stage of romantic attraction, and the track sounds distinct from 'Peptides', the first single from the same EP.

The band is described as energetic on stage. They have played Whelan's and the Button Factory in Dublin, their Dublin headline shows have sold out, and they have supported Tebi Rex and Post-Party. This London night at West Hampstead Arts Club, a venue for concerts and shows, gives the group a chance to perform in the capital.
