Frontman James Konnanov of The Donaghys performed an acoustic version of the band’s songs ‘Hindsight’ and ‘The Midas Touch’ for Our Indie Buddie Sessions.

The Donaghys consists of Manchester trio James Konnanov on Guitar / Vocals, Scott Ripley on Bass Guitar, and Nathan Ripley on Drums. Having grown up in the same village, just playing in different bands, it took a chat after a local open mic night before the three-piece collaborated, taking only two months before they took their idiosyncratic brand of trans-Atlantic indie rock on stage. 2018 saw The Donaghys release their first E.P, Turning Heads featuring early singles such ‘Incandescent’, ‘Control’ and ‘She Can Fly’ – all tracks which made the setlist for the band’s raucous debut headline show at Manchester’s Castle Hotel.

The Donaghys new single ‘Don’t Mind Me’ is a jaunty passionate indie rock track doused in the dynamic musicianship the band has become known for. Boasting blazing guitar refrains, punchy drums, and driving bass lines, which are all backed by catchy sing-along ready choruses the band has a full-bodied, fiery sound that is sure to ignite a live audience. Keep an eye on these guys. 

We are delighted to have James showcase The Donaghys’ fantastic tunes and strip them back to a wonderful acoustic set for our Indie Buddie Sessions. Check out the performance below.
