manx celtic music and dance

Not currently active

Multi-instrumentalist sisters Kirsty and Katie Lawrence have been playing together since childhood. Their debut CD, Tree Baatyn Beggey, is a finely-crafted introduction to the music of the Isle of Man. Both sisters are outstanding traditional and classical musicians – Katie plays fiddle and piano whereas Kirsty plays cello and tin whistle and is occasionally persuaded to sing a song or two. This jazz-tinged CD mixes in some Irish and Scottish sets, as well as some sparkling new tunes by Katie.

Recently joined by Andy Walker to form Breck, the trio has performed in Scotland.
