Greg Russell & Ciaran Algar
This phenomenal duo have blazed a trail across the folk scene picking up the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award along the way at this year's award ceremony in Glasgow.
Both are multi-instrumentalist.
Ciaran, as well as providing vocals, bazouki and guitar to Greg's superb and highly acclaimed songwriting, has also, on several occasions, been All-Ireland and All-Britain Fiddle Champion.
They perform with a confidence, energy, warmth and style which can be attributed to their roots in folk music from an early age and are now understandably in great demand at clubs, venues and festivals far and wide.
Their debut album The Queen's Lover received excellent reviews and extensive airplay displaying the duo's tremendous strength for composition and arrangement of traditional, contemporary and self-penned songs.
"The amount of fun we have on stage and playing the music, I hope there are many, many more years of the duo to come" (Russell).
