Sonny Condell the creative core and inspiration for Scullion continues to invent and innovate. He writes music and songs that are powerful, poetic, soulful and joyful. He is one of Ireland’s most enduring creative artists and with Robbie Overson and Philip King creates the signature sound that is Scullion.

Scullion’s back pages include the anthems, ‘Down In the City’, ‘Eyelids into Snow’ and ‘John the Baptist’. Recent Scullion performances have sold out in a heartbeat, reconfirming their status as one of the best bands ever.

Scullion grew from a chance meeting in the late seventies, of its two main founders, Philip King and Sonny Condell. As a band they started rehearsing and writing in a small apartment above a chip shop in Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, which eventually followed with regular appearances at various Dublin haunts including the Meeting Place in Dorset St. Dublin…and on out into the world.

Anna Mieke, or Anna-Mieke Bishop, is a musician and songwriter hailing from the hills of county Wicklow, Ireland. She performs on guitar, bouzouki and piano, sometimes as a solo performer, sometimes joining forces with others. Often appearing on stage alongside, are Brían Mac Gloinn (of Ye Vagabonds), who contributes harmonies, the Indian harmonium and fiddle to the mix, and Matthew Jacobson (of ReDivider; Insufficient Funs; Clang Sayne, to name a few), adding jazz-influenced percussion.

She has spent a lot of her life travelling and living in different corners of the world; from the west of Ireland to Spain to Bangladesh to New Zealand, and draws on these experiences for songwriting inspiration. She has also spent time focusing on traditional Irish music such as Irish cello, sean-nós singing and fiddle, which has influenced her musical style and improvisations. Anna also performs cello in the sometimes-seen-above-ground, experimental improv group, HEX.
