The celebrated partnership of “one of the UK’s greatest guitarists” (BBC RADIO 2) with “the doyenne of Irish harpers” (SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY) and "an absolute legend" (THE IRISH ECHO, USA)- has toured worldwide to venues ranging from tiny village halls to palaces in Kyoto and Istanbul, London’s Barbican, Sydney Town Hall and Cologne’s Philharmonie. Chris has performed with many luminaries of the folk and jazz worlds, among them Aly Bain and Stéphane Grappelli, and Máire is a recipient of Irish music’s most prestigious award, Musician of the Year (Gradam Ceoil TG4).

They're terrific, especially the guitarist, who could easily work in the classical world - though he claimed not to read music. Highly recommended.
