Loretto Reid &
Brian Taheny
Loretto and Brian are multi-instrumentalists, arrangers and composers of an astonishing range.  The quality of their playing is buoyed by the fact that they perform with an irresistable energy that can only come from players whose music is inside them, who play because they have no choice.  

County Sligo has produced a host of musically-illustrious sons and daughters, Brian and Loretto are two of the best around.  Their recently released album Celtic Metttle (meaning: spirited, courageous, pure), is their second recording and has literally changed the face of Celtic music as we know it.

"Leading Canadian performers in the Celtic tradition generate life - affirming joy on 17 new, traditional and spiritual pieces that make a beautiful broth on a vigorous, smartly produced CD (Celtic Mettle)."
