The Sussex Irish Folk Duo - Folk Duo

The Sussex Irish Folk Duo perform lively, foot-tapping Irish jigs and reels as a fiddle and guitar duo and can be booked with a dance caller for Ceilidhs.

The duo are both experienced Irish session and ceilidh musicians, with the guitarist being the winner of a gold medal, awarded by the Irish Music Society (Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann) who love to breathe new life into tunes from the Irish tradition (and a few from further afield).

The Sussex Irish Folk Duo bring you spirited, bright and bouncy tunes played by two highly-regarded and sought-after Irish musicians.

The duo provide their own sound equipment and are available for weddings and events across the South East.
