Bua evokes the good times that are the core of Irish traditional
music. Precise, intense, and straight forward, they are a refreshing
change in today’s highly polished musical world. Bua stands out among modern
bands in the genre by staying strong in the path of the tradition, yet still
able to “raise the rafters with their playing, charm with their singing, and
delight with their contemporary energy.” (Dirty Linen) The Irish Music
Association awarded them Top Traditional Group of 2009. In Irish the name Bua means
talent, merit, destiny, and more – they are well named. http://buamusic.com/

From the
family that brought you two of Ireland’s most treasured singers, Frances Black
and Mary Black, please meet Aoife Scott, daughter of the former and niece of
the latter, the next generation. Fragile and ethereal one minute and strong and
vibrant the next, Dublin Folk singer-songwriter Aoife Scott has become a force
to be reckoned with on the Irish folk and traditional scene. https://www.aoifescott.com/
Barrule

The
unique sound of traditional Manx music is the Celtic World’s best kept secret.
This is set to change with the introduction of Barrule, the award-winning trio
hellbent on taking the Isle of Man’s music to a much wider audience. While
sharing common ground with its Celtic cousins, Manx music has retained its own
particular and inherent Manxness: an atmosphere evoked by the music that speaks
of the natural beauty of the island and the lives of its inhabitants. http://www.barruletrio.com/
