Tempest

About

Moving On Music is delighted to present exciting new traditional powerhouse 'Tempest' on tour this Autumn.

Featuring a sensational line-up of some of Ulster's best traditional musicians, Tempest are Brendan Mulholland, Bláithín Mhic Cana, Aaron O' Hagan and Luke Ward. Formed in 2023, Tempest are already regarded as a vibrant exponent of traditional Irish music and song. Their debut album was released in early 2025.

Seasoned musicians in their own right, they have collectively toured across Europe, the US and the UK collaborating with a wide range of artists such as Bríd Harper, John Carty, Jean Michel Vellion, Réalta and Music in the Glen.

The group is firmly rooted in the heritage, song and music of their native Ulster and take great pride in sharing this with their audience. There is a particular focus on the singing tradition of Bláithín's native South Armagh while many of the tunes also take their origins from the northern province.

Supporting Tempest on tour will be Múlú (Miadhachlughain O'Donnell), a singer and multi-instrumentalist from Castlewellan, Co. Down. A fluent Irish speaker with a passion for curating and performing songs in her native tongue, she is dedicated to upholding the sean-nós tradition while fusing her own signature sound with Irish folk music. Alongside Múlú's solo project, she is part of tradtronica group HUARTAN (NI Music Prize Live Act of the Year 2024), 11 piece all-female band BIIRD and Afro Celt Sound System.

Expect an evening of high energy traditional music and song.
