Greg Russell and Ciaran Algar

Greg Russell and Ciaran Algar joined forces in 2011.  Combining Greg Russell’s powerful vocals and driving guitar style with Ciaran Algar’s All-Ireland winning fiddle playing, the duo have become one of the most sought after acts on the British folk scene.  In 2013 the pair won the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award before going on to win the Horizon Award for best breakthrough act from the same source in 2014.  In 2015 they were nominated in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Best Duo category.

Having toured extensively in the UK for five years, as well as in Denmark, Germany and The Netherlands, Greg and Ciaran have released 3 studio albums.
