All-Female trad supergroup BIIRD announces Gleneagle show
BIIRD, the all-female supergroup redefining Irish traditional music, is set to perform a headline show at the Gleneagle Arena in Killarney on May 8, next.
The group, which formed last year, has rapidly gained attention for its energetic performances and blend of traditional sounds with a modern approach. Since appearing on the Late Late Show in February 2025, BIIRD has sold out every date on its debut Irish and UK tour, including an upgraded show at Vicar Street, all before releasing any music.
This momentum continued with a successful Mainstage performance at the All Together Now festival in front of 15,000 fans. Now signed with Primary Talent, BIIRD is planning extensive tours in Ireland, the UK, and the US for 2026.
BIIRD’s line-up features Lisa Canny on harp, banjo and vocals; Laura Doherty on fiddle and guitar; Zoran Donohoe on concertina; Sal Heneghan on fiddle and harp; Miadhachlughain O’Donnell on flute and vocals; Nicole Lonergan on fiddle; Niamh Hinchy on vocals and synth; Aoife Kelly on cello; Ciara Ní Mhurchú on fiddle; Hannah Hiemstra on drums; and Claire Loughran on fiddle and harp.
