Irish Folk Music

Zoë Conway and John McIntyre have been described as ‘simply one of the best folk duos on the planet’ (BBC) and ‘musical magic’ (The Irish Times). They have performed around the world, as well as giving performances for Irish presidents Mary McAleese and Michael D. Higgins! This husband and wife duo draw the day to a close with a special hour of Irish folk music, exhibiting the range and knowledge of both musicians as well as the versatility of their instruments, and bringing to the stage sympathetic arrangements of traditional Irish music, compositions and songs old and new.

The duo has recorded on major film soundtracks including Finding You (Red Sky Studio 2021), Riverdance The Animated Adventure (Universal 2021), and Zoë has recorded on award winning Float Like A Butterfly (Samson Films 2018) and Artemis Fowl (Disney 2020) as soloist with a hand-picked symphony orchestra in George Martin's world-renowned AIR studios in London.

Zoë and John have collaborated over the past five years with award winning Scots Gaelic singer Julie Fowlis and bouzouki player of international renown, Éamon Doorley, both based in Inverness in Scotland. Releasing a groundbreaking recording of newly crafted songs and tunes, 'Allt' is the culmination of a composition project inspired by old and new Gaelic poetry from Scotland and Ireland. Emotive and powerful, their album was awarded five stars from Songlines UK, listed as "one of the albums of the year" from The Irish Times, and described as "a modern classic" by Folk Radio UK. The "awesome foursome" released a follow up album, Allt ll - Cuimhne, in 2024 and will perform new songs and music with The Scottish Chamber Orchestra, The Ulster Orchestra and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra in 2025 & 2026.
