She has shared the stage with some of Ireland’s most influential acts such as Altan, De Danann, Dervish, Mairtín O Connor and Frankie Gavin to name a few.

Angelina Carberry - Born into a County Longford musical family steeped in traditional music, Angelina followed in the footsteps of her father and grandfather by learning the banjo and has developed a highly personal style with unique rhythmical characteristics which has been captured on various albums.

Mirella Murray hails from county Galway and learnt under the guidance of Mary Finn. Having performed nationally and internationally, artists such as Sharon Shannon, Lunasa and the Bumblebees credit her as a source of uncommon melodies through her vast collection of tunes from her travels.

Ryan Molloy – A Composer and pianist, Ryan is widely recognised as one of the masters of modern accompaniment in Irish traditional music. His compositions, rooted in the language of Irish traditional music, have been performed by world-leading ensembles.

Neil Martin (MC) is a composer and musician with an international reputation, whose work has been performed across the world from Ground Zero to Mostar Bridge and the Royal Albert Hall, as well as being played on the International Space Station.
