SAOIRSE

Saoirse (meaning freedom - relating to movement) are a vibrant vocal and dance trio from Melbourne. They perform mainly traditional Irish songs and ballads (in Gaelic and in English) as well as some spirited jigs and reels to get your feet tapping. This engaging trio is Bernadette O'Neill - bodhran and vocals, Kerry McManus- whistle and vocals and Sile Coleman- guitar and vocals. Saoirse were delighted to perform at Celtic Nations Concert for the past two years. The girls were a true favourite at the National Celtic Festival 2007 in Portarlington and have successfully launched their first album, Singin' In The Scullery Sept. 07.
