“SOLAS make mindblowing Irish folk music- maybe the world’s best” Philadelphia Enquirer

"The closest we've come to in the search for a Planxty in the 21st Century" Irish Time

Since they formed in 1996, Solas have been acclaimed as the most influential and exciting Irish traditional band ever to have emerged from the United States.

They feature some of the finest Irish musicians worldwide, including multi-instrumentalist Seamus Egan, and extraordinary fiddler Winnie Horan. The five-piece line-up also includes guitarist Eamon McElholm, familiar to UK audiences from his appearance in the latter incarnations of Stockton’s Wing. With lead female vocal and accordion on top, there is plenty of firepower to explore and capture the endless rhythms and complexities that make great Irish music.

Solas' authentic, yet innovative, arrangements led The Irish Times to describe them in simple terms - “One of the most exciting bands anywhere in the world”
