Córas Trio reinvent the spontaneous. Deconstructed Irish traditional melodies emerge from blissful, otherworldly textures that foreground fiddle, guitar and percussion with transcendental electronics; suspending elements of collective free improvisation with seisiún-style playfulness.
Their rapid rise has seen them support experimental folk heavyweights such as The Olllam, Aidan O’Rourke & Brìghde Chaimbeul, Väsen, and Hawktail. Their debut album, released in July 2024, received critical acclaim, leading to a string of sold-out headline shows across Ireland, a BBC Radio 6 New Music Fix live session, and global radio play and press features, including The Wire, The Irish Times, RTÉ, and Mojo magazine.
Gráinne Meyer is a Belfast-based harpist, composer and PhD researcher at Queen’s University Belfast, whose work combines original, improvised and traditional influences with a particular interest in accessible and inclusive music making. Drawing on both traditional Irish and concert harp, her sound is described by Pwyll ap Siôn as “an evolved and multidimensional approach to melody.”
In 2023 she won the World Music Competition at the Wales International Harp Festival and she has performed and recorded with the Ulster Orchestra and Ulster Consort and for BBC, RTÉ and TG4, with The Times describing her playing as “uniformly delightful.”
