Folk Bands and Artists
Cellar Upstairs: Kathleen O’Sullivan, Maureen Linane and Andrew Warminger
London
Ttraditional singer Kathleen learned to sing from her mother, and all her family sang and played traditional Irish music. She toured with the London Lasses for many years before returning to her unaccompanied singing roots. Maureen Linane is an outstanding player from a dynasty of musicians: her grandparents hailed from Leitrim, and Maureen and her siblings have always been among the best-known and respected musicians on the London Irish scene. She’s had various successes in competitions at the Fleadh, has recorded and toured internationally with the London Lasses, is a regular at sessions with her family, and tutors the next generation of champions. Multi-instrumentalist Andrew’s music reflects the rich and varied canopy of influences he was raised under – trad Irish, folk, country, pop, rock, soul, classical and everything in between.
Genre: Irish Trad Folk
