Chamberlane
Chamberlane return to the Hat Factory after performing at the St Patrick's Day event!
Rooted in their Irish heritage, the band showcased a delightful mix of traditional and contemporary Irish tunes. From the very moment they launched into a power-driven cover of Fontaines D.C.’s ‘Jackie Down The Line’, the atmosphere was charged with excitement, paving the way for a truly remarkable show.
The band displayed a remarkable ability to blend genres, effortlessly moving between folk-infused melodies and rock-driven anthems. With an updated setlist from their previous sold-out shows at beloved local pub O’Shea’s, they delved into a diverse rey of songs, including Wunderhorese’s ‘Midas’, Radiohead’s poignant ‘Fake Plastic Trees’, and the iconic ‘Creep, plus Bob Dylan’s timeless classic ‘Like A Rolling Stone’.
Each member’s charisma and the band’s rapport with the audience were unmistakable, crafting an unforgettable evening that celebrated both their local and Irish heritage. Oliver Kelly and Josh McGillicuddy’s guitar work generated a rich texture, while Travis Giles laid down a solid rhythmic foundation on drums. Callum Wilkinson’s bass lines enriched the arrangements, and Luke Kelly’s powerful vocals breathed life into the lyrics.
Overall, Chamberlain’s Hat Factory show was a remarkable celebration of music and culture. Their ability to connect with the audience and create a festive yet intimate atmosphere made for a night to remember. If you ever have the opportunity to see them live, don’t hesitate– it’s a show you won’t want to miss.
