Greg 2

Greg comes from a musical household and was a regular at folk festivals, clubs and sessions from an early age. His musical career began as a solo artist, initially supporting acts such as Lau, Karine Polwart and Kerfuffle and increasingly playing gigs in his own right.

In 2011 he joined forced with multi-instrumentalist Ciaran Algar who have since recorded 2 albums together, toured extensively and won awards at both the 2013 and 2014 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

Their second album, The Call, was released several months after the 2014 awards, and received 5 Stars in fRoots, 4 Stars in both R2 Magazine and The Telegraph and a host of other brilliant reviews, Bright Young Folk describing it as an “outstanding show of maturity” with “enormous promise”.
