Local band The Hush have just returned from a triumphant series of gigs in Munich, Germany, where they wowed crowds across three nights – including a packed-out open-air show at the city’s birthday festival, performing to thousands of festivalgoers.Known for their high-energy reworking of rock classics with a unique fusion style, The Hush lit up the weekend. The band features Youghal musicians Tony Kiely (guitar), Oliver Loughnane (drums & percussion), and Warren Tivy (bass & keyboards), alongside Cork’s Kevin ‘Spider’ Murphy on vocals.They performed as The Hush, but also shared original songs from their sister project The Blackwater Hush, selling out CDs of both their original album and their live covers collection.

Their debut album 'Tall Tales & Fables', released under The Blackwater Hush, blends Irish storytelling with powerful rock grooves. The project represents the creative side of the band, where they write, record, and perform their own material alongside their covers work.

A heartfelt touch to the album is its dedication to Joe Horgan, a cherished local figure who had a lasting impact on Warren and Oliver growing up. Joe introduced them to the world of classic rock and helped shape their musical path. His signature is featured on the CD artwork as a tribute to his influence.

The band would like to thank the organisers of the Irish-Bayrisch Festival, Munich City Council, Munich Amp Rentals, Paul Daly, and the amazing teams at Kilian’s Irish Pub and Kennedy’s for their support and hospitality throughout the trip.
