Born in County Waterford and raised in Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary, Robbie O’Connell needs no introduction to Irish music fans. As a nephew of the Clancy Brothers, he began touring with his uncles in 1977 and recorded 3 albums with them.
Also from Carrick-on-Suir is Aoife Clancy. Her father Bobby Clancy of the legendary Clancy Brothers, placed a guitar in her hands at age ten, and by age fourteen she was playing with her father in nearby pubs. Since then she has made her own mark in Irish and folk music as a member of the Grammy-nominated Cherish the Ladies and other music projects. With seven recordings under her belt in the last decade, Aoife has clearly established herself as one of the divas of Irish and contemporary folk music.
