Born in what is known as Ireland’s heartland of Irish traditional music, County Kerry, colloquially known as “The Kingdom”, Lorraine Nash began her musical journey at six years of age, becoming a talented multi-instrumentalist of traditional Irish music – Fiddle, Harp, Tin Whistle, Banjo - she incorporates many elements of this into her current recordings, while also drawing from her love of country and folk music. Citing an array of influences from Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch, Lorraine remains authentic to her own style and song writing sensitivity. In the wake of her recent album “All that I Can Be” critic John Meagher said of Lorraine, “If Neil Young was the master at writing songs that get to the heart of the human condition, the same can be said of Nash's from-the-heart compositions.”
Hailing from the South-West of Ireland, Kate Dineen combines intricate accompaniments and introspective lyrics that take you on an ethereal journey.
