Saltaire

  • MATT MOLLOY'S Bridge Street Westport, Mayo (map)

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, their combined experience fuels a bold and dynamic sound, weaving haunting, ethereal folk styles with rich storytelling to create original songs, reimagined folk ballads and traditional tunes. With the deep resonance of cello, the rhythmic pulse of bodhrán, and the melodic interplay of guitar and bouzouki, they craft a fresh yet rich folk sound that feels both timeless and nostalgic. Self-dubbed ‘a band of backers’, Saltaire’s music is a collective experience, rooted in collaboration and expanding outward via close friendships with some of Ireland’s most talented musicians in the folk and Irish traditional space. Some of these collaborators and co-conspirators include Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin, Ryan McAuley, Laura Jo, Catherine McHugh and more.
