The End

THE END 
‘The End’ is a deeply instinctive yet 
carefully considered response to the 
chaos of modern life, with Junior Brother 
weaving the recent years of upheaval 
into the eerie folklore of Fairy Forts. 
These ring-shaped earth mounds, 
scattered across the Irish countryside, 
are known to possess an energy that 
can bewilder, curse, or even lead the 
unwary astray. Stepping into one is to 
risk losing yourself—both physically and 
spiritually. To Junior Brother, this ancient 
folklore mirrors the disorienting reality of 
today’s world. 
 
Born Ronan Kealy, Junior Brother’s debut 
album “Pull The Right Rope” earned a 
Choice Music Prize nomination for Irish 
Album of the Year, and similarly lauded 
sophomore LP “The Great Irish Famine” 
claimed another Album of the Year 
nomination at the RTÉ Folk Music Awards, 
along with glowing press from The 
Guardian, MOJO Magazine and The Irish 
Times to name just a few. Thrilling 
appearances in iconic venues worldwide 
have left crowds spellbound, from the East 
Coast of the U.S. to Eastern Europe. He 
has played support for a variety of 
like-minded acts such as The Proclaimers 
(U.K. & IE), The Murder Capital (Europe) 
and Glen Hansard, the latter personally 
choosing Junior as the opening act for his 
2019 US Tour.
