Connla

Fiery is a term that’s frequently used to describe great Irish trad and when applied to the music – and performance – of up-and-coming young band, Connla, it does the job again.
They have their sweet moments too, especially when the spotlight lands on vocalist Ciara McCafferty and she gets the chance to shine.
These five tremendous musicians came together while studying at Ulster University. Their debut EP won them loads of attention and rave reviews. Irish Music magazine said of the sampler: “Consider this your early warning system…there is something serious on the horizon and that creative storm is Connla.”
The new album is winning them even more well-deserved exposure.
