Comment: Still lacking the sources which are needed to demonstrate notability - key thing to focus on is "significant" coverage, not just passing mentions (such as in a list of nominations). This unfortunately isn't helped by one of the few links which seem to focus on the band itself being a dead link now, but I'd encourage you to track down some more stuff to back the article up.

They are one of the few bands to represent the emerging contemporary Australian Celtic music genre, which draws upon the nation's prominent Irish, Scottish, and bush roots.[1] Other examples of Celtic diaspora bands include The_East_Pointers and Vishtèn from Canada, Gaelic_Storm from the United States.
History
[edit]Three of the four members of the band originally met in Adelaide (Angus, Caity and Connor) and begun performing under the name 'Astraíl' in 2017. They were then joined by Rhys in 2018, forming the current band as they reformed in Melbourne with an intention to create original music that represents the Australian branch of Celtic diaspora. Their first recording was a self-recorded EP entitled 'The Restaurant Downstairs'. The band recorded their first full-length album at Echidna Studio. The band has mainly performed at folk festivals in Australia including Woodford Folk Festival.[2] In 2019, Austral were interviewed by Irish music podcast The Blarney Pilgrims along with other prominent artists John_Carty_(musician), Caoimhín_Ó_Raghallaigh and Kevin_Crawford.[3] The band was awarded the 2022 Australian Folk Music Award (AFMA) for Traditional Album of the Year for their debut album 'Thylacine'[4] and was a finalist in two other categories for the same awards.[5] Austral also received a nomination for Best Folk Work in the 2022 Music Victoria Awards.[6][7]
