About SEPTEMBER: Saoirse + Nigel Wearne

Saoirse

Saoirse have worked tirelessly to bring world class Celtic music to a wider audience, promoting and organising their own shows as well as performing at festivals and music functions throughout Australia.

A Saoirse performance will delight the audience with a little bit of everything Celtic; heartfelt ballads, lively jigs, reels and polkas, original songs and even a traditional step dance or two!

In 2013 Saoirse won the 'Australian Celtic Music’ awards for album and song of the year and have firmly established themselves as one of Australia's premier Celtic/Folk bands.

Nigel Wearne

Nigel Wearne is an Australian folk/country singer-songwriter whose music has an intimate and poignant narrative. Equipped with personally handcrafted guitars, his music melds finger-style guitar, clawhammer banjo, folk and honest storytelling. Gleaning influence from Kelly Joe Phelps, Townes Van Zandt and Sun Kil Moon, he tells stories of forgotten rebels, mischievous bank robbers, wandering poets and his love of eggs. Nigel has performed at various music festivals throughout Australia, including the Port Fairy Folk Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Cygnet Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival and the Illawarra Folk Festival.
