Zoë Conway & John Mc Intyre (Ireland)

With an exciting blend of eclectic fiddle and guitar music, Zoë Conway and John Mc Intyre bring sympathetic arrangements of traditional Irish music, compositions and songs, old and new to the stage. The husband and wife folk duo possess a rare facility to draw pieces into their repertoire from other genres such as classical, jazz and world music and express this material in ways which display the knowledge of both musicians and the  wonderful versatility of their instruments.

Zoë, no stranger to the stage, has performed with an impressive list of international artists including Riverdance, Damien Rice, Lou Reed, Nick Cave, Rodrigo y Gabriella to mention but a few. John grew up in the Cooley Mountains of north County Louth where he took up guitar at 8 years of age. John studied classical guitar and piano for many years, and from early childhood was immersed in the language, songs and traditional dance music of south west Donegal - his father's homeplace. Together, Zoë Conway and John Mc Intyre have been described as “simply one of the best folk duos on the planet” (BBC), and audiences in Ireland and beyond keep coming back for more.
