The Stunning are an iconic rock band hailing from Ireland, known for their compelling lyrics and engaging melodies that quickly garnered a dedicated following. Formed in 1987 in Galway, the band is composed of Joe Wall (vocals, bass), Steve Wall (guitar, vocals), Derek Murray (guitar), Jim Higgins (percussion), and Cormac Dunne (drums). The Stunning rose to prominence in the late 1980s and early '90s with a string of hit singles and albums, solidifying their status within the Irish music scene.

After disbanding in the mid-1990s, The Stunning experienced a resurgence of popularity that led to the group reuniting on several occasions, eventually leading to a full-fledged reunion. To the joy of their fans, the band's legacy was reignited with their 2018 album "Twice Around the World," a re-recorded, re-mastered version of their 1992 chart-topping album "Once Around the World." Bolstered by new singles like "Always You" and "Brighten Up My Life," The Stunning have managed to bridge their classic sound with contemporary influences, remaining relevant and adored by a new generation of fans. Their live performances continue to draw crowds, proving that their music, including classics such as "Run and Hide," "Tightrope," and their celebrated debut album "Paradise in the Picturehouse," have stood the test of time. The Stunning's influence on the Irish music scene and their enduring appeal make them a band worth noting in music history.
