NoCrows in live

concert

Acoustic music doesn’t come much more varied than the multi-cultural Sligo based ensemble NoCrows. This lively group plays a unique blend of Irish traditional, gypsy, classical and world music.

Springing from modest roots in a Wednesday night session in the multicultural hotpot of Sligo’s Shoot The Crows pub, NoCrows has been making great waves in the European folk and world music circuit since 2008 with acclaimed performances at some of Europe’s biggest festivals including Glastonbury’s Acoustic Tent, Dranouter and Labadoux (Belgium), San Sebastiá (Mallorca) and Bern (Switzerland).

The group has three CDs on its own label Crows Records and Dervish’s Whirling Discs. The new CD, NoCrows on the Moon, launched in late 2010, is a collaborative labour of love with more original material than their previous records and no less than twenty musical guests from ten countries including Sharon Shannon, French rock star Cali, Donegal maestros Fidil, Mallorcan songstress Miquela Lladó, Irish jazz drummer David Lyttle and Armenian Oud player Haig Yazdjian. Also featuring some studio treatments by Mike Scott, NoCrows on the Moon represents a collaborative and creative milestone for the group.
