This is the kit are are alternative folk group formed in the mid 2000s fronted by Kate Stables. They feature a changeable lineup of talented musicians and vocalists including The Liftmen and Rozi Plain and make a promise that if you think you don’t like banjos, well, they’ll prove you wrong.
Sunday Best Records were first to make us aware of the incredible yet unassuming talent of This Is The Kit putting out their singles ‘Two Wooden Spoons’ and ‘Come A Cropper’ in 2006. Since then, the band have released two full length album and are currently working on a third. On the road they’ve supported likes of The National and Sharon Van Etten.
This May, you’ll get the chance to catch them in some very intimate surroundings in both the north and south of Ireland.
