Moroney
“Quite good, really” — Nancy Moroney (1930 - 2024)
The family ensemble bringing folk arrangements to stuff you know and some you don't.
Mike, Bernadette and Siobhán have been playing music in some form or other, all their lives and nearly all of that on the folk scene. All three are vocalists with that gift for harmony that seems innate in musical families. All are multi-instrumentalists and their repertoire covers the ranges of their folk experience. From British traditional songs to contemporary bluegrass ballads along with some originals. Mike plays most things with strings and hails from bands such as The Chaps and Catgut and Steel. Bernadette was the lead singer of the Celtic ensemble, Teud and both she and Siobhán were half of the highly respected a capella group, Rhonda and the Ravers. Bernadette plays concertina and Celtic harp while Siobhán is a fiddle player, guitarist and mandolin player. With a strong focus on tight harmonies and interesting instrumentation, Moroney will entertain you from go to 'woah'.
"Moroney had style, grace, beautiful harmonies, and an amazing choice of songs." ( Whare Flat Festival Coordinator, 2017)
