Gráinne Brady

Another fantastic act confirmed for this Summer's traditional music and dance festival, we are thrilled to welcome the incredible musician and composer Gráinne Brady with accompaniment from guitarist, bouzouki player, singer and composer/arranger Luc McNally. Weekend passes on sale now!

Living in the heart of Glasgow's trad music scene, Gráinne is a vital part of that great city's musical pulse, relishing the creative milieu of community, where young players are writing new music, swapping tunes, drawing from the rich cultural lode of shared regional styles and identity. Creative collaborations include; The Routes Quartet, a folk string quartet ensemble, who were nominated 'Folk Band of the Year' in MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 2017, Top Floor Taivers, a Scots and contemporary song band, and nominee in MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards 2016, and LAS; Scottish and Irish tunes, step-dance and Gaelic song.
