Picture This are a four-piece alternative rock band from Ireland, with hits like 'Take My Hand', 'Get On My Love' and 'The One You Call'.
Picture This members
Picture This was formed by childhood friends Ryan Hennessy (vocals and guitar) and Jimmy Rainsford (drums) back in 2015.
Just a few months later, when the duo started playing live gigs, two more friends – Owen Cardiff (guitar) and Cliff Deane (bass) joined the band.

Picture This hail from Athy, Co. Kildare, Ireland.
How did the band get famous?
In October 2015, Ryan Hennessy recorded a sample of the song 'Take My Hand' on his iPhone, which he and Rainsford later recorded in the studio.
The duo uploaded the song on Facebook and YouTube and it was an instant hit, going viral very quickly.
That's Owen and Cliff joined the band and the quartet started to tour local towns and cities across Ireland, gaining a loyal and passionate fanbase.
What are their biggest songs?
Picture This have a number of top hits including 'Take My Hand', 'Addicted To You', 'Unconditional', 'This Morning' and 'One Drink'.
How many albums have they released?
In 2017, Picture This released their aptly named debut album 'Picture This', which was closely followed by their second album 'Mdrn Lv'.
Their third studio album 'Life In Colour' was released in June 2021.
Last year the band released their long-awaited fourth studio album 'Parked Car Conversations'.
Are they going on tour?
2025 sees Picture This return to Ireland in the band's Home For Summer Tour 2025 following on from over 60 dates in Europe.
The coming tour sees the band re-visit the regions that they haven't played at in years including, Letterkenny, Galway and Limerick.
Just after Christmas, the lads will return to Belfast for two sold-out shows at the SSE Arena - we can't wait!
