Living proof that folk music from the British isles isn't boring, twee or irrelevant. Murphy's Lore Trio will get toes tapping from the opening bars. From that point on, there is a real risk of enjoyment: tapping toes become stamping feet, clapping hands soon follow. before long guests are dancing the night away, whilst others are enjoying the interplay of male and female voices, fiddle, whistle, bouzouki, bodhran, guitar, tenor guitar and mandolin all delivered with pace, passion and sensitivity. Already a firm favorite around the local pub, club and festival scene, Murphy's Lore Trio are gaining popularity at every event.

Murphy's Lore Trio are an exciting & talented threesome performing a variety of lively folk songs & tunes. With two strong lead vocalists & a toe tapping fiddle player, they are sure to keep their audiences happily entertained. They are always enthusiastically received at my folk club and at festivals too. Karen Laird Brunny Folk
