Pavesi are a four-piece guitar outfit from Donegal town in the north west of Ireland.
The group are made up of ‘Duck’ Gallagher on vocals, Ronan Hanna on guitar, Michael Gillespie on bass and Mark Hanna, drums. Formed in 2006 the band-name comes from that of a local ballroom where they used to practice. They started writing original material and immediately made impact around Donegal. On only their second gig they performed on the first night at the renamed Rory Gallagher Theatre in Ballyshannon. They currently boast almost two hours worth of original material and have recently recorded a demo, which they hope will raise their profile in esteemed venues across the country.

What we say…
As tracks go, there’s a great rounded sound to Turnaround Year, the track featured in show #44 and due for release as the band’s first single. It’s the bass in the opening few bars that does it for me but the track makes all the right moves and has a nice radio-friendly commercial vibe to it without crossing anywhere near a manufactured indie sound. Plus, they’re Irish – any homegrown act that has the determination to get their music out there deserves to be heard. Here’s to hoping they get the single out and best of luck to them with it.
