So here it is - the video for our single 'Slow Crunch'. Enjoy!

Film-maker Seán Breathnach shot the music video for the track. He said: "There's a theme of re-connection in this beautiful song, so in the video I wanted to explore how people don't take the opportunity to notice the beauty or people around them, even though we are surrounded by these things every day".

The actors in the video are John Ryan-Howard and Irene Kelleher who were great...especially considering the obvious challenge for them during filming. Thanks also to Dan O'Connell for shooting some of the scenes with Seán in the lovely Fellini Tearoom.

"In Valour's new tune 'Slow Crunch' is their best work. Here's a band that have improved immeasurably in the past twelve months (and they were excellent back then!)" Dan Hegarty - RTE 2fm

We're back with a video for our single 'Slow Crunch', shot by film-maker Seán Breathnach. Will put it online shortly but in the meantime, here are a few stills from it, featuring actors John Ryan-Howard and Irene Kelleher. We're delighted with how beautiful it looks and how much it suits the music. The special effects are really cool too!!

The 'Café Irlandaise' tour was one of the highlights of the year. Loved playing in some of the best venues in Ireland, alongside such cool acts - Sí, Bona Fide Federation, Foxglove, ODi and Sive. We're very grateful to everyone who came along to the gigs. Thank you!! Here are a few pics below that photographer Emma Jervis took of us in Dolans, Limerick. More photos, news etc. on the 'Café Irlandaise' facebook page.

We keep having to remind people that howard (the other half of In Valour) is in Sydney - his image is on the screen behind! Film-maker Seán Breathnach takes over laptop duties and backing vocals for our gigs as well as designing all our projections.
