Two of Irish folk's leading lights, multi-instrumentalist and singer Barry Kerr from the shores of Lough Neagh and renowned singer Pauline Scanlon from Dingle, have come together for a collaborative traditional singing project. They have created beautiful, contemporary arrangements, focusing on traditional songs where feelings of longing for home, freedom, love, acceptance and peace are central themes.
Working with artists such as Damien Dempsey, Sinead O'Connor, John Spillane and many other well-known names, Pauline has featured as harmony vocalist on countless albums. Her latest album, Unquiet, reimagines what it is to be an Irish woman in the context of music and song.

He has shared the stage with artists like Cara Dillon, Lumiere, Dervish and Steve Cooney, His songs are sung by the likes of Karan Casey, Flook and Kate Rusby.
