Tom Keating Presents is thrilled to announce The Stunning as one of first acts for the upcoming Cork City Hall series as part of Guinness Cork Jazz Festival 2026. The Stunning were the biggest band in the country; tracks such as ‘Brewing up a Storm’. Heads are Gonna Roll’ and ‘Half Past Two’ are still alternative anthems. Formed in Galway in 1987 by brothers Steve and Joe Wall, The Stunning became one of Ireland’s most acclaimed and best-loved bands. From the beginning they carved out a distinctive sound - a vibrant mix of rock’n’roll energy, twangy guitars and touches of alt-country-soul-rock - that resonated with audiences across the country. Their commitment to great songwriting and electrifying live performances quickly set them apart. Their debut album, Paradise in the Picturehouse (1990), reached No. 1 in the charts and stayed there for five weeks, followed by a second No. 1 album, Once Around the World (1992).
