Bio

Stiofán Ó Treabhair is an Irish-Scottish vocalist, guitarist and bouzoukist inspired by heritage and eclecticism in equal measure. His performances encompass traditional Celtic folk, jazz fusion and cross genre compositions executed with an intricate and ethereal touch.

Drawing disparate influence from the likes of Lenny Breau, Shakti and Nina Simone, his performances reflect connections to music far beyond his roots in Irish and Scottish folk traditions, inescapably indebted as he is to Cathy Jordan, Tony McManus and Planxty.

Prior to launching his solo project, Stiofán has performed across the UK and been featured on BBC Music as a member of folk/klezmer/gypsy jazz fusion trio Hatchet, Pike & Gun.
