THE STUNNING

The Stunning formed in 1987 and broke up in 1994, but despite the passing of time, their popularity has never waned. Songs such as “Half Past Two”, “Romeo’s on Fire”, and “Everything that Rises” are still to be heard on the radio. “Brewing Up A Storm” has become an anthem of sorts and is to be heard everywhere from football stadiums to clubs around the country where it is still a guaranteed floor-filler.

In the seven years that The Stunning were together, they toured relentlessly building up a following that would make them one of the most successful Irish bands of the early nineties. They played the length and breadth of Ireland as well as completing tours in the UK and the US. Both their studio album releases, ‘Paradise In The Picturehouse’ and ‘Once Around The World’ hit the No. 1 spot in the Irish album charts, with their debut spending a record-breaking 5 weeks at number one. The Stunning went on to sell over 100,000 albums in Ireland alone. During their time, the band won numerous industry awards. They also released a live album ‘Tightrope’, recorded at the Taibhdhearc Theatre during the Galway Arts Festival in 1993.

Paradise in the Picturehouse and Tightrope have been re-issued on Dirtbird Records and are available in all good record stores, CD Baby.com, from the band's website and from iTunes.

Their live shows feature all the massive hit tracks and the band line-up includes all the original members.

Hi The Stunning,
Its been a while and we thought it was about time we updated you on what we've been up to. Our debut EP Little World is now available at our gigs and will soon be available from our myspace and facebook pages, you will also be able to download it from itunes, but we don't have a release date for this as yet.
To celebrate the fact that we have now reached 25,000 plays on myspace, we are giving you a free MP3 of Rockabye Baby. All you have to do is send your email address to queen.elvis@yahoo.ie and we will send it to you.
We have spent the last year rehearsing with a full band and are now ready to bring it on the road. You can get a look at us when we appear on Balcony TV this week with the full line up. We are currently taking bookings for gigs/concerts/festivals and can be contacted on the email above, or through our myspace and facebook pages.
Thankyou for your continued support in what has been a great year for us!
Best Wishes
Caroline and Colin

Thanks for making friends lads. So many happy memories playing together over the years. One memory was the night I smashed my guitar when I fell running for a bus on the way in to town to support you in McGonagles.
You were so good to loan me an acoustic. Lucky too cause mine was a nasty, cheap Encore.
We were spotted by Sony that night... so its probably due to your kindness that we ever got signed in the first place! Cheers, Michelle xoxoxo

The shame of trying to get on the stage for Brewing on Friday night in the Tripod is unreal - I need another concert to redeem myself if only to my brother or his partner who I asked to lift me even though she is 5 times smaller than me !! The SHAME !!!!!!:-(
