9WHO  ARE NUNC?
      Formed in November 2014, they were originally Flossy McDougal, Geoff Veasey and John Kearney.  Flossy sang and recorded previously with Pennyroyal along with Linda Dickson and Sue Dixon.  Geoff sang and recorded previously with Black Parrot Seaside. John is a respected singer/songwriter originally from Cork and was a member of various bands including Romeo's Butcher. Nunc is latin for "Now"-and so was intended to reflect new beginnings after their previous bands folded. Flossy is Geoff's Niece.  (Niece+Uncle=Nunc).  Someone recently pointed out, in a reference to our stage shirts,that  Nunc could also be an acronym for "Never under nine colours." 
Blues Monkeys Paul Moore and Jon Harrington have since been added to the permanent line-up.​
SO WHO ARE DRUNK MONKEY THEN? 
It is Nunc when supplemented on electric bass or guitar by Dragonhead's John Harris, the band do Festivals and larger venues as Drunk Monkey. (see what we did there?)  (Confusing,isn't it?)

WHAT SORT OF MATERIAL?
      Set list includes some traditional folk songs, a few originals, Blues,Roots Americana and Country.  We "nunc" (verb) covers  by Neil Young, Crowded House, CSNY, Steve Earle, Sam Cooke, Kasey Chambers, Bonnie Raitt, John Prine, Richard and Linda Thompson, Bob Dylan, The Incredible String Band, Randy Newman, U2, Eddie Reader,Petula Clark and many more. By this we mean that most  songs are adapted to a unique Nunc arrangement, with three part harmonies and some are run together, as  medleys or segues. This format is popular with audiences who like singing along. With both contemporary and traditional numbers in any set list they tend to appeal to a very broad audience.
