GreenBird – Old Time Americana

GreenBird is a Leitrim alt folk duo of Cliodhna Quinlan and Mark Murphy. As a duo they perform tuneful original folk music and songs with a hint of strangeness that fit around many genres including traditional, old time and americana. They are currently working with known Leitrim based singer Mandy Frankham (the Psychonics). 

Support By Gerry Harrington

Gerry grew up in Kenmare County Kerry under the influence of some of the great players of the day, Connie O’Connell, Dennis McMahon, Séamus Creagh and Jackie Daly. Gerry’s music was brought to a wider audience during the nineties through the release of two exquisite albums with accordion player Eoghan O’Sullivan, Scéal Eile and The Smokey Chimney. Another perfect match was formed when Gerry recorded The New Road with button accordion master Charlie Piggott. Gerry recorded two albums “Fortune Favours The Merry” and “The Merry Love To Play” with very well known Sligo flute player Peter Horan from Killavil. The depth of tradition in Gerry’s playing is formidable, and yet the sound remains fresh and exciting. The listener is treated to rare versions and tasty interpretations of tunes, a natural coming together of skill and sensibilities that strikes to the very heart of the music.
