History The band was originally formed by Cunningham and McCaffrey as a duo in 2022.Fox, Matt (13 December 2025) From teachers to chart-toppers, the 'pinch me' moments for Amble, BBC Northern Ireland. Retrieved 1 January 2026. Their main aim was to play cover songs in pubs in order to obtain free pints. McNerney was added to the band due to his skills playing the mandolin and banjo.
After playing a concert in Leitrim, McNerney suggested that the band become a serious endeavor. At the time, McCaffrey was working as a data scientist and programmer at Pfizer, Cunningham was a primary school teacher in Terenure, and McNerney was a secondary school teacher in Longford.
By 2024, all three members had quit their jobs after signing a recording contract with Warner Records. When Cunningham told his father that he would quit his job, his father responded with the phrase, "throw the trout out to catch the salmon". The phrase, which the band has described as "resonating", has appeared on official merchandise.
In 2025, Amble joined Hozier's Unreal Unearth tour, appearing as an opening act in Boston, Casper, Wyoming, Billings, Montana, and Toronto.
In 2026, Amble joined Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour, as a featured supporting act on the North American leg of the tour including stops such as Glendale, Arizona and Nashville, Tennessee.
