They’re Back! After what seems like an eternity, The Mere Mortals
have reformed and are looking!!! and sounding better than ever.
Since forming back in ‘87, The Mere Mortals enjoyed a heavy touring
schedule, playing the pubs, clubs & summer festivals of the midlands,
along with gigs further afield in Tralee, Limerick, Galway & Dublin.
Their biggest gig was the first Feile festival in 1990, sharing the
Main Stage with The Stunning, The Sawdoctors and Van Morrison. They
also played at Poulaphouca House in August 1990 supporting Bob Geldolf
and The Vegetarians of Love. The band self-released their debut single
in 1991. A video was made for the A-side "Travelling On" which was
played on RTE's Sunday morning music programme The Beat Box. It
entered the Irish charts in June 1991 peaking at #11. This lead to an
appearance on Shay Healy's "Nighthawks". Other crowd favourites
include Jodi, Tell Me, Here I Am, Nicaragua, Once Upon a Time, Off
Chance and Jackboot Along with some of these crowd pleasers, the lads
are launching plenty of new material on their forthcoming tour with
songs such as Flying Too Close To Earth, Sickness of the Head, Life
Support Machine, Why Can’t I Believe and C’mon. Be sure to follow
