Glasgow-based Kinnaris Quintet burst onto the music scene in 2017 with a unique folk sound of five extremely talented musicians doing their own thing on their terms and demonstrating complete creative control over what they do. The whole group, with band members having individually performed with Shooglenifty, Fiddlers’ Bid, The Shee, Salsa Celtica, and Phil Cunningham to name a few, is extremely effective. As a result, it is stacking up an impressive amount of music awards.​

​

In 2018 the band released their debut album, Free One, to great acclaim. It was longlisted for the 2019 Scottish Album of the Year Award. It was followed in May 2022 by This Too.  which is packed with just as much musical positivity as its predecessor and ups the ante in terms of creativity and ambition. This is fully accomplished music, with much heart, empathy and sympathy. 

​

Expect uplifting and highly emotive modern trad music, with delicate sparkles of Bluegrass, Scandinavian, Appalachian, and Classical influences.​ Who has seen them live will attest: Kinnaris Quintet have become the folk band to see, with sell-out shows and performances at major UK festivals.

​

Help us bring them to Continental Europe and North America!

​

Première in france at Interceltiques de Lorient on August 8.
