Aug. 8, 2015 - PRLog -- Montelago Celtic Festival is the most important Irish and Celtic Festival in Italy and one of the most popular festivals in Europe. Alban Fuam was one of the six bands in the whole of Europe chosen to take part in the competition this year. After their amazing performance of Irish and Celtic classics, the panel that consisted of music experts declared Alban Fuam the winner of the 2015 competition. The victory will give them the chance to perform at Mutina Boica Festival in Modena and Druida Festival in Cesenatico. Alban Fuam will also perform at Montelago Celtic Festival in 2016 as guests. These events are the most renowned Celtic festivals and gather thousands of Irish music lovers from all over Europe each year. The award will give them an amazing boost for their music promotion.

The band was formed in 2009 and after many recording sessions and live gigs in Italy and Ireland, Alban Fuam released their official album titled “Whiskey ‘n Beer” on the Italian label Maxy Sound in July 2015. It has already reached 30.000 listens on Spotify after a few weeks of its release. The band has also been added to the Irish Traditional Music Archive, the most important collection of Irish/Celtic music based in Dublin.

"Whiskey 'n beer" includes well-known tunes such as "The Star of the County Down" which tells the story of a young farmer who courts the girl he fell in love with and "The Irish rover" a sailing ship and her riveting, though improbable adventures. The album then flows into the heart-wrenching melody of "Molly Malone" (also known as "Cockles and Mussels" or "In Dublin's Fair City") which has also become the unofficial anthem of Dublin City, where the ghost of a young fishmonger is brought to life, thanks to the deep and warm tone of Pietro, the lead singer.

"Irish Music is in safe hands here in Italy with Alban Fùam". Fankie Gavin
