RÚN A Gaelic vocal group set up by Brona McVittie; our repertoire includes Irish Gaelic and other Celtic songs, sung with 4-5 voices accompanied by Brona's harp, in original arrangements and harmonies. Members: Brona McVittie, Lewis Barfoot, Alli Buhagiar, Sonja Byrne and myself.
Other occasional or previous groups including British folksong: THE SCENIC ROUTE Duo with guitarist Mick Rodwell - see the Chanson/Jazz page. DAVID BURNS Previous duo with this dynamic and lively mandola player - strong and original arrangements of dramatic folksongs and others. WAYWARD GRACE (see link under Eastern European folksong): Our repertoire also included some unusual harmony songs from England and Scotland. THE ALICE IN WONDER BAND Delightful folk band including Mick Rodwell, Gill Warnell on accordion and concertina, and Kay Tierney on mandolin (all previously from ceilidh band Highly Strung), and myself on vocals. Got together in 2002 for some performances at folk clubs, events, and a spot at the 12 Bar Club, until Kay's return to Ireland. Repertoire included songs and instrumental tunes, from Ireland, the UK and Brittany.
Since forming in 2007, Rún has performed at venues including the Union Chapel, the Camden Irish Centre / Return to Camden Town Festival, the National Theatre and Queen Elizabeth Hall foyers, as well as festivals including Upton Folk Festival and Glastonbury.
