who

the Acolytes formed in 2005 when singer/guitarist Seamus Garland was looking for a new creative output when his previous act parted ways. At the same time the nucleus of a fledgeling band, comprising Steve Wright on guitar, Stephen Skinner on drums, and Maurice Kelly on bass, were playing together for the first time, while searching for a voice to complement their style.

They soon hooked up and started the process of amalgamating their influences to define a sound of their own. With a set of songs ranging from up-tempo and bright, to down-beat and soulful, the Acolytes are emerging from their larval world of writing songs and recording demos, in an attempt to crack the Northern Ireland music scene. Keep checking here for details of where and when you can catch them next, and have a listen to their self-recorded demo tracks to your right.
