Alan Kelly Gang

Ireland

Fronted by Ireland’s piano accordion maestro, with three of Ireland’s finest musicians in tow, Maureen Browne (fiddle), Steph Geremia (flute & vocals) and Tony Byrne (guitar), The Alan Kelly Gang have been taking their audiences by storm with music from throughout the Celtic regions including Ireland, Brittany, Asturias and America as well as original compositions that stem from a deep traditional sensitivity.

Each a highly respected artist in their own right, the four members of The Alan Kelly Gang combine their individual virtuosity with unparalleled musicianship and group empathy to produce a sound that is both fresh and powerful. Here, innovation meets sensitivity as they push the conventional boundaries of traditional music with their strong dynamics, driving rhythms and buoyant harmonies, yet still manage to remain sympathetic to the past, present and future of traditional music.

The Alan Kelly Gang was a big hit at the Festival last year and we're really excited to see them back.
