BIO

The New Leaves, like so many contemporary music projects, emerged from the post pandemic wilderness. The New Leaves consists of four childhood friends from County Down, Northern Ireland – who blend lush, three-part harmonies, nature inspired lyrics and modern folk aesthetics. The four members came together to breathe life into an expanding songbook written by Mc Kay, who attempts to capture the natural beauty, history, and mythology of homelife beneath the Mourne Mountains and the beautiful townlands that surround Carlingford Lough.

Donaghaguy Reservoir

Donaghaguy Reservoir sits on the outskirts of Warrenpoint, the band’s hometown. It is a place of quiet reflection for both humans and animals alike. Often referred to locally as ‘the duck pond’, it is an area of unpretentious beauty. The song, penned by McKay, attempts to capture a moment of peace at the reservoir – the sights and sounds that make Donaghaguy Reservoir such a special place for seekers of sanctuary and quiet reflection in nature.
