Few new bands of recent times have made such an impact as Malinky. From a stunning debut performance at the 1999 Celtic Connections, to rave reviews for their second album, 3 Ravens, in 2002, this Scots/Irish five-piece have emerged as one of the hottest properties on the international folk scene. Their song-centred repertoire combines a deep appreciation of tradition with a vibrant freshness of approach, taking in both classic ballads and outstanding original songwriting, alongside sparkling instrumental sets.
Malinkys line-up features founding members Karine Polwart (vocals/guitar), Steve Byrne (vocals/bouzouki/guitar) and Mark Dunlop (flute/whistles/bodhrán/vocals), together with later arrivals Jon Bews (fiddle/vocals) and Leo McCann (button accordion/whistles).
