Burnchurch are a family group from Kilkenny. They cross several genres, including Trad, blues and Pop/Rock.
As multi-instrumentalists (Keys, Fiddle, Flute, Uilleann pipes, Bass, Drums, guitar) and accomplished singers, they write, record and produce all their own music. As Native Irish speakers, they like to explore new boundaries with bilingualism.
Their 5-track debut EP ‘Maidin’ portrayed their versatility and originality, and was an observation on the world as seen through the lens of these 4 young Irish people.
Their song ‘Feeling’ from the EP featured on the main Electric Picnic Playlist, before their Festival appearances. With recent performances at Festivals in Marlay Park, Collins Barracks, NYF Dublin and many local venues, Burnchurch are experienced performers and love getting in front of a Live audience.
They have appeared several times on National television, on channels such as TG4, RTÉ Up for the Match and Ireland AM, and won the 2FM Irish language National song contest with their first ever song as Gaeilge.
They also like to write original Soundtracks, including 'Ringwalk', which was written for Katie Taylor’s walk to the ring in the 3Arena in May 2023, and reached a global audience of hundreds of millions.
Burnchurch are a contemporary expression of Irish culture, which they intend to bring to an international audience.
