May 9
The John Hewitt 9.00pm
The Henry Girls are Karen, Lorna and Joleen McLaughlin,
three sisters from Donegal who have recently recorded
their impressive debut album ‘Between Us’.
Together they play a multitude of instruments including
harp, fiddle, accordion, whistles and piano, however
it is the inimitable blend of family voices that makes
for a unique sound.
Their style of music is refreshingly unique drawing
from many different genres including blues, country,
traditional and even pop! The album was produced by
Maire Breatnach and other guest musicians on the album
are Glenties fiddler Denise Boyle, Belfast guitarist
Stephen Murray, Eileen McCreese from Newry with added
vocals and finally Buncrana drummer Laurence Doherty.
It mainly features music written by themselves, as well
as some traditional and original tracks by other artists.
The Henry Girls line up includes the three girls along
with guest musicians Stephen Murray on guitar and vocals;
Laurence Doherty on drums and percussion; Stephen Cleary
on bass and Denise Boyle on fiddle and viola.
