Daire Nolan
I started playing drums at the age of 9, and after pots and pans were used as
percussion in our family home, Followed by my first drum kit and grading lessons, I eventually
joined my first band in 2005! I always prefer to play live, and in my spare time for a number of
years I have given drum lessons to give back to younger people with what was given to me at a
young age.
My bands currently and over the years include…
Scuba Dice
Audio Fires
Chemical Addiction - Currently*
Saturn's Virtue
Decadation
Big Guns
KRB
Kerbstomp
The White Walkers
Jar Of Dirt - Currently*
Anthems before the year 2000 *Upcoming*
I’ve toured extensively since late 2007 and have been to New York and Philly for recording with
Chung King records having worked with Johnny King himself for the first time in 2010. Have
also toured Europe for festivals in countries such as Germany, Sweden, Austria to name a few.
Among playing big festivals in Ireland/UK.
The basis of shows at this moment in time lands between Ireland and the UK.
I am part of a
fantastic Grunge Band from the small town of Kilkenny called Chemical Addiction! We have just
released our latest EP on all streaming platforms in 2025 called “ Unpasteurized” with shows to
announce. Jar of dirt is another project I’m involved with which is a tribute to Alice In Chains.
We
cover all of the guys stuff and appeal to many for grunge nights for these shows! More studio
time also to follow..
I am incredibly proud to represent Soultone cymbals and I will be using the lovely Abby
series for the upcoming shows and studio sessions which I’m very excited for!
