Angelina Carberry was born in Manchester, England but returned to
Ireland in the 90s. In 1998 she recorded Memories of the Holla with
her father Peter, which won critical acclaim from newspapers and
Irish music journalists. Though her style echoes that of her
grandfather, Kevin, who was a well-known player in Longford, Angelina
has developed a light-handed, sparkling touch on the banjo.
Angelina's unmistakable banjo style is nicely captured on her solo
2005 CD, An Traidisiún Beo, which was hailed by Irish Music Magazine
as "a landmark recording in traditional Irish music." Besides being
actively engaged in the Galway music scene, she tours with the all-
female traditional group, the Bumblebees. The group, which includes
harper/fiddler Laoise Kelly, accordionist Colette O'Leary and
Angelina on banjo and mandolin, has played throughout Ireland and
Europe. She has recorded two albums with the band.

Martin Quinn comes from Armagh from a family of accomplished
musicians and storytellers. He has a highly refined unique style and
is regarded as one of Ireland's finest exponents of the accordion.
Since 1994 Martin has been touring Europe and the US and has appeared
at many festivals in France, Finland, Britain and Germany. In
addition to his solo appearances and those with his wife Angelina,
Martin also performs with the traditional group na Dorsa, with whom
he has recorded 2 CDs. He's also toured with Lá Lugh. Martin has been
featured on TV and radio at home in Ireland as well as
internationally. His recording credits include tracks on Paul
Bradley's fine solo album The Atlantic Roar and more recently on
composer Josephine Keegan's double CD Lifeswork.
