Amble member Ross McNerney has announced his engagement to his partner Emma Mulligan. The musician, who rose to fame with the Irish folk group, announced the news with an Instagram post on Monday. Cleverly captioning the post, ‘Is not an island for one’ as a nod to the band’s popular tune, Lonely Island, McNerney shared photos alongside his new fiancé. McNerney joined Amble in the autumn of 2022, after original members Robbie Cunningham and Oisín McCaffrey made contact. This suggestion led to the trio formalising the band, and eventually, McNerney and Cunningham left their teaching jobs and McCaffrey left his job as a data scientist to focus on making music full-time.
