Niall Hanna
Niall was immersed in traditional singing at a very young age when he began to learn from the singing of his late Grandfather, Geordie Hanna. Since then Niall has combined the traditional style of singing with his guitar playing and has performed on many stages in across Ireland, the UK, Europe and Australia. In 2011, Niall along with his brother Ciaran, fiddle player Niall Murphy and Bodhran player Eamon Rooney formed the young trad group ‘Reel It In’. All four musicians who were now in their teens had met as pupils at the ‘Armagh Pipers Club’. The band combined lively sets with Niall’s traditional ballads and began to perform across Ireland and in Europe. They were later joined by keyboard player Enda Rafferty.
