Mundy | Saturday 16th August
Born in Co. Offaly, Mundy moved to Dublin when he was still a teenager and honed his musical talents performing on street corners. His debut single To You I Bestow was featured on the soundtrack to William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet and introduced the then 21 year old singer to audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. This was followed with dates supporting Alanis Morissette and Neil Young in Dublin, before the release of his debut album Jelly Legs, which went on to sell over 50,000 copies worldwide.
Since then he has performed with the likes of Van Morrison and Manic Street Preachers and released the albums 24 Star Hotel and the recent Raining Down Arrows, both of which have been very well received.
Mundy looks set to remain one of Ireland's brightest talents.

Mundy was born Edmond Enright in the rural town of Birr, County Offaly. In 1993, at the age of 18 Mundy moved to Dublin to take his place on the energetic busking circuit. It was during this period and in the midst of heartbreak that Mundy penned some of his greatest hits including, ‘Gin & Tonic Sky’ & ‘Life’s A Cinch’. These stirring tracks quickly secured Mundy a place on the roster of Sony’s Epic records as well as a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music. Mundy’s first album ‘Jelly Legs’ was released in October 1996 to critical acclaim and went on to sell 50,000 copies.
However it was his visceral debut single ‘To You I Bestow’ that garnered most attention after it was licensed to appear on the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’, this bestselling soundtrack went on to sell 11 million copies and introduced Mundy to the world.
Mundy has since gone on to release a further eight albums creating his own flavour of acoustic, folk-based pop/rock through his own record label ‘Camcor Records’ which he set up in 2000. His album Raining Down Arrows went straight in to the Irish Charts at number 1, he has enjoyed gold and multi-platinum record sales and has picked up a number of awards including the Meteor Music award for ‘Best Male’ and ‘Most Downloaded Song’ 2 years running for his rousing rendition of ‘Galway Girl’ featuring Irish traditional musician Sharon Shannon.
Mundy certainly has an impressive CV and his music has allowed him travel the world supporting some of the greats; Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, R.E.M, Oasis, White Stripes, and the Pogues to name just a few heavy weights. Mundy was invited to perform for perhaps his most prestigious audience to date, in the White House for president Barrack Obama as part of their St. Patricks Day celebrations.
