Irish band Royseven have announced their split after 11 years on the go.

The band took their Facebook page to announce their split writing:

“Dear All,

“With heavy hearts we’ve decided to bring down the curtain on our Royseven adventure. Rather than disappointment, we feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and satisfaction for the last eleven years of creativity, performance and friendship.

“To those in Ireland, Germany, Switzerland and Great Britain who worked with us, supported or encouraged us, we’d like to thank you for helping to create experiences that were once mere childhood dreams.

“We each intend to continue writing and performing but this musical chapter has come to an end. We’ll be forever grateful for the wonderful memories you’ve gifted us. Thank you so very much, one and all.

Royseven – Paul, Eamonn, Dazzy, Lego, Sam, Bernard.

Royseven scored their biggest hit with We Should Be Lovers led by singer Paul Walsh. They released two albums, 2006’s The Art of Insincerity and 2011’s You Say We Say.

In 2011, they won The Meteor Choice Music Prize Irish Song Of The Year.
