Draft:IMLÉ

Submission declined on 29 April 2026 by Cosmic840 (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for music. The draft requires either:

evidence that the subject meets any of the specific criteria for music;

or multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the subject, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

It is often easier to prove the notability of an album or artist than an individual song or band member. If the subject is not yet notable, consider improving a relevant existing article instead.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

IMLÉ is a contemporary Irish music collective set up by Dublin based musician and producer of TG4 and RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta, Cian MacCárthaigh. The group performs in the Irish language and mixes many styles of music from trip-hop to dreampop to indie. The band has been celebrated for their dedication to creating and performing in Irish, with Void.ie remarking that 'this commitment to singing in their native tongue is more than just an artistic choice – it’s a powerful statement about the importance of preserving and celebrating the Irish language.'^[1]

The current line-up includes Mac Cárthaigh along with Róisín Seoighe, James Shannon and Neil Ó Briain.

IMLÉ have played at several European music festivals in recent years, including Celtic Connections in Scotland, Tivoli Vredenburg in Utrecht and SUNS EUROPE in Udine in Italy.^[2]

In 2024, IMLÉ's song 'Peacach' was used as the opening titles music for the Netflix series BODKIN.^[3]^[4]^[5]
