Andy Martyn
(Le Cheile, Alias Ron Kavana, Roaring Mary): London Irish virtuoso of the button accordion whose distinctive West of Ireland music is heavily influenced by growing up playing with the best of London-based musicians of his and older generations in London’s golden era for the music; Irish Music Magazine wrote “This album will outlive us all. Irish London and the wider Diaspora should be so very proud of Andy Martyn, thank goodness he gave it a go”.
Matt Griffin
A highly talented multi-instrumentalist now based on Kerry’s Dingle Peninsula. He learned much of his music within the vibrant Irish traditional music community in London and has since immersed himself in both the music and way of life of Sliabh Luachra and West Kerry and the guitar stylings of Arty McGlynn and Steve Cooney.
John Carty
(Patrick Street, At The Racket, Roaring Mary), long settled in the West of Ireland, is one of Ireland’s finest traditional musicians and, having developed his mastery of the fiddle, banjo and flute, has been awarded TG4’s Traditional Musician of the Year and produced a number of milestone albums, not least his recordings with Matt Molloy (The Chieftains) and Arty McGlynn.
