BEOGA
The unique sound of Beoga, the Irish five-piece traditional band based
in County Antrim, features the twin dueling accordions of Seán
Óg Graham and Damian McKee, four-time All-Ireland bodhrán
champion Eamon Murray and pianist Liam Bradley along with the vocals
of one of Ireland's premier young singers, Niamh Dunne. With their
signature mix of Irish traditional music with nuances of bluesy riffs,
Astor Piazzola-style jazz, and a raunchy New Orleans jamboree vibe,
they are a band that like to have fun. With their new 2011 release
'how to tune a fish' attracting fresh critical acclaim, Beoga are
set to confirm their reputation as the most audacious Irish band rooted
in trad today. With their unique blend of inventive arrangements,
virtuosi instrumental talents and beautiful vocals, Beoga's popularity
continues to flourish as they captivate audiences on a global scale.
THE SIMPSON THREE
The Simpson Three are a trio of exceptional young trad musicians who
perform Irish and Australian music in their own unique style. The
three Simpson siblings, Rebecca, Clancy and Declan come from a strong
music family background and between them they play tenor banjo, mandolin,
fiddle, whistle, bodhran and guitar. They have been regular session
players from an early age, and at the 2010 National Folk Festival
they were awarded the Declan Affley Award for Excellence in Traditional
Music, and in 2011 they won the Folk Alliance Youth Award for young
performers.
