Eleanor and Gregor were recipients of the Danny Kyle Open Stage Award at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections 2024, and will perform at the festival in 2025.

Their music, which they recorded on their debut album in 2024, revolves around the discovery of old Irish words from the West coast, used by older generations of fishermen to describe the varying temperaments of the sea which are now a fading part of the Irish language. Through the combination of the unique sound of the clarsach and percussion, newly-arranged traditional material and original writing, woven together with spoken word and field recordings, they hope that their music will bring new life and audiences to the traditional genre.
