Quilty (2)

Swedish folk music group that plays Irish folk music. The group was formed in 1993. The group has performed about one thousand concerts and held a large number of workshops, as well as collaborations with choirs and symphony orchestras. The ripples are visible even today, and many young musicians around Sweden got their very first musical inspirational kicks from Quilty. Quilty's interpretation of traditional Irish music has a strong and personal expression. Jigs and reels at breathtaking tempos, together with sea shanties in powerful vocal harmonies are interwoven with songs about love, emigration and adventures. Quilty always offer a rich, varied and colourful concert, filled to the brim with joy, humour and sincerity, and perhaps some surprising musical pranks. Members are: [a732022], [a1003547], [a1559858] and [a1212080]
