Saltaire brings together three distinct musical voices, shaped by years of performing in acclaimed Irish traditional and folk bands and as sought-after session musicians.
Comprised of singer/cellist Kaitlin Cullen-Verhauz, guitarist Ian Kinsella and bodhrán/bouzouki player Conor Lyons, Saltaire made their debut this year with single ‘The Axe’, which was included in the RTÉ Radio 1 Recommends List for two weeks.
‘Matty Groves’ is Saltaire’s unique take on the popular traditional folk song, that helps continue to frame their ascent as compelling new players in the contemporary Irish folk and trad scene.
Filmed by ALDOC Productions live at the Cobblestone in Dublin, the video features acclaimed banjo player Ryan McAuley (of RTÉ Folk Awards ‘Best Emerging Folk Artist’ nominated band, Alfi), pianist Catherine McHugh (featured on Frankie Gavin & De Danann’s album Port Eireann) and Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin (2024 ‘Best Folk Singer’ at the RTÉ Radio One Folk Awards) on flute.
