After wowing fans in Oxygen last weekend the Script have announced that they will play one concert in the west this year and the Royal Theatre Castlebar is the chosen venue.
This one-off concert promises to be an exceptional night, the boys who are also supporting U2 on July 27 in Croke Park couldn’t be happier about their Irish tour ahead of their European tour.
Danny O'Donoghue, Mark Sheehan, and Glen Power have enjoyed phenomenal success this year with their music as well as their TV appearances on Britain’s Next Top Model and The Hills. These boys are in demand. This time last year the Script performed on the new band stage at Oxygen and this year they were on the main stage on Friday with the likes of Snow Patrol and Lily Allen.
Their music boasts the kind of artful twists sure to turn all preconceptions on their head. Danny and Mark started as a backroom team, making demos for other artists, but when they met fellow Dublin drummer Glen, the dynamic shifted. Although they had never actually heard him play, such was the connection they made that Mark invited Glen on a working holiday to LA. "He just whipped the ass off all these LA session musos," enthuses Mark. "He is the funkiest drummer around with real energy and swing but Glen is also a fantastic guitarist, a fantastic keyboard player and he sings his ass off too."
The trio's debut single, “We Cry”, released in April 2008 reached number nine in the Irish charts, while "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" released in July reached number two in the charts.
