Folk Bands and Artists
Kinnaris Quintet
Founded in 2017, Glasgow’s Kinnaris Quintet - on three fiddles, mandolin and guitar – has swiftly taken the trad scene by storm, clocking up a universally acclaimed debut album, Free One, in 2018 (‘One of the best debut albums of 2018’ said Folk Radio UK) and winning the coveted 2019 Belhaven Bursary for Innovation in Music. Their sound distils influences of traditional Scottish and Irish folk with Bluegrass, Classical, Scandinavian and Appalachian, delivered in a ‘euphoric’ sound with unique power, energy and drive, and presented in new, original compositions.
