Rubyworks was formed by Niall Muckian in Dublin in 2001.
Niall was promoting the now famous Ruby Sessions acoustic evening in Doyle’s Pub. The first release was by the forty legged groove machine which was the Global Funk Orchestra, fondly remembered for their late night Dublin Olympia gigs.

However, the story really starts with a couple of Mexican guitarists called Rodrigo y Gabriela, who had left Central America at the turn of the millennium armed with two acoustic guitars and a taste for adventure. Niall saw them supporting Damien Rice at Vicar Street in Dublin and knew immediately that he wanted to work with them. (Niall was working with Damien Rice at the time helping him with the formative stages of his solo career). Rubyworks released “Re – Foc” in September 2002, and continues to manage Rodrigo y Gabriela to this day.

Rubyworks took its next step by releasing a new Hothouse Flowers (“Into Your Heart”) album in early 2004. Developing an international presence, the label helped established Irish acts like Aslan and Jerry Fish release their music outside of Ireland. The next major break through came later in 2004, when the second Rodrigo y Gabriela album – “Live Manchester And Dublin” – became the first wholly instrumental album to debut in the Irish album chart Top 10. (The album has gone onto to achieve platinum status). Rodrigo y Gabriela’s and Rubyworks’ local and international profile started to increase from this juncture.
