Belfast. Friday night was a dream. If you had told these four lads from Bangor, that in under four years of forming they would sell out @belfastempire , we wouldn’t believe you.

Belfast. Our hearts are filled with such joy. Friday was a night to remember and one that will live on with us for a long time to come. @limelight.belfast has always been one of our many “bucket list venues” since forming this band, and while we have played it a number of times already, supporting touring bands on their way through Ireland, nothing will ever come close to headlining it. It’s hard to put into words the pure emotion one feels when playing to a packed out room, but just know your support meant everything and more. To hear people belting out choruses to songs that are only months old and singing melodies back to you is something we could have only dreamed of. Thank you for making it a reality. We also want to give a huge thanks to @charliehanlon_ for supporting us. We love him loads and his material just keeps getting better and better. He’s one for the future👀 And last, but certainly not least, a million thank yous to @mollie.mckay for capturing the show and immortalising these memories. Her work behind the camera is mind bending and she always takes the time to come out and shoot us, no matter how busy she may be🫶 We’ve a few shows left this year so grab your tickets while you can! Can’t wait to see what 2023 has in store❤️ Here’s to the next one🍻 x #theflorentinas #livemusic #belfast #supportlocal @thirdbarbelfast @xraytouring

So proud to have been a part of history by playing in our home town’s first ever music venue @courthousebangor Thank you so much to Kieran and the @openhousefestival team for having us along for such a momentous occasion. @lemonade_shoelace smashed it as well!

It’s been well over a week but we’re still all trying to comprehend what we achieved. To play the Ulster Hall has been a dream of ours since the band was formed and to now have ticked that off the list is so surreal. It hasn’t hit us yet. We want to thank @nothingbutthieves for making that possible and everyone that came down and supporting us that night. You all made it so special x 📸 @bradleyquinnphotos
