Album Launch – ‘Avalla’

“AVALLA”

(Padraig Rynne, Tara Breen, Elaine Hogan & Conor Crimmins)

Avalla is an album by four Clare natives exploring traditional, newly and self-composed melodies in the traditional form.

This quartet have known each other for many years.

Elaine and Pádraig first met while in secondary school and competed against each other with their schools in Slogadh. Conor and Tara were in college in Cork at the same time and spend years playing and sharing music.

Tara and Pádraig have performed as a duet as well as session musicians in many different bands and albums over the past number of years.
It was a natural progression that all these ties would bring the four musical friends together where they could explore traditional and newly composed melodies with arrangements that reflect their tastes in music.
