The Adventures release first new album in over 30 years!

THE ADVENTURES 
Once More With Feeling
THE NEW STUDIO ALBUM
28 March 2025
​

​Experience the triumphant return of Belfast’s beloved band, The Adventures, with their first studio album in over 30 years, Once More With Feeling. Featuring original members Pat Gribben, Terry Sharpe, and Eileen Gribben, this brand-new collection captures the magic that made the band a standout in the 1980s and 1990s. 
 
Best known for their 1988 UK Top 20 classic "Broken Land"—the most-played song on BBC Radio 1 that year—The Adventures have returned with ten stunning tracks that reaffirm their knack for crafting unforgettable melodies and heartfelt lyrics.
 
Born from a creative surge during lockdown, Pat Gribben crafted much of the album in his home studio  before finishing the record and mixing it at Einstein Studios, delivering a deeply personal yet universally resonant collection of songs. The album includes "L.U.C.Y.," an exciting songwriting collaboration between Gribben and Cathy Dennis, and marks Eileen Gribben's first lead vocal on an Adventures album. From the wistful "My Imaginary Girlfriend" to the poignant "With The Cats" Once More With Feeling is a showcase of lush instrumentation and soaring harmonies, all recorded with a blend of homegrown creativity and studio polish.
 
With a career spanning decades, The Adventures remain one of Northern Ireland's most cherished musical exports. This long-awaited release is both a celebration of their legacy and a fresh chapter in their story, making Once More With Feeling an essential listen for fans old and new.
