Brídín @ TradFest Temple Bar
As a fourth-generation musician, Brídín has songcraft embedded in her DNA. Over the past number of years, she has developed a distinctive style influenced by her West Sligo surroundings and rooted in her background in traditional Irish music. Employing loop and effect pedals to create her musical pieces, layered melodies on harp and voice blend beautifully with contrapuntal fiddle, electric guitar and bass, punctuated with pulsating drumlines. A master’s graduate of music and performance from UCC, her debut EP of contemporary folk debuted in 2020 to widespread acclaim. Her’s is a new vital sound in Irish music.
