Catherine (flute and whistles) and Ciara (concertina, whistles, and vocals), from Manchester, have been immersed in music from a young age. Their traditional upbringing and profound appreciation for their heritage infuse their music with authenticity and vitality.

Catherine and Ciara both developed their skills studying Traditional Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, exploring the thriving traditional music scene in Glasgow. They have played at numerous UK festivals, including Celtic Connections, Craic by the Creek and Bromyard Folk Festival. The duo were awarded the Youth Folk Award at the Allen Valleys Folk Festival.

The sisters are an integral part of The McGoldrick Family band together with their Uncle, Mike McGoldrick and their cousin, Mairead Hussey. They released their debut album 'One for the Road' earlier this year.

Tom Keenan, hailing from Co Down, is making waves with his unique, energetic take on traditional accompaniment. Despite his recent entry into the music scene, Tom has already collaborated with uilleann piper John Mc Sherry and Dublin whistle maestro Kevin Meehan, with whom he is currently co-producing an album. Immersed in Irish music since his teenage years, Tom also plays the banjo, mandolin, and bouzouki, making him a standout talent in traditional Irish music
