The Celtic Trio are:

Brendan Walsh: A two-time All-Ireland champion from County Clare, Brendan is a master of the banjo and a veteran of the international touring circuit with The Led Farmers.

Helen Maier: A rising star of the Swiss music scene, Helen’s virtuosic fiddle playing has graced national television and major collaborations, including recent work with Swiss rap legend Bligg.

Raoul Morat: Holding a perfect 6.0 Master’s in Music Performance, Raoul bridges the gap between the classical world of Schubert and the rhythmic heart of the Irish session.

Together, they deliver a masterclass in Celtic music, blending traditional tunes, soulful songs, and original compositions.

Gráinne Hunt and Brendan Walsh are a contemporary folk duo dedicated to the art of the Irish ballad. Their partnership—formed during their time at NUI Maynooth—is a sophisticated blend of Gráinne’s "captivating and spellbinding" vocals (often compared to icons like Natalie Merchant) and Brendan’s intricate, champion-level instrumentation.

In 2019, they launched their acclaimed project, "Songs from Ireland," a curated collection of traditional pieces reimagined through modern arrangements. Recorded in the heart of Lucerne, Switzerland, the album serves as a bridge between their deep Irish roots and their lives as international performers.

Whether performing in intimate acoustic venues or on grand European stages, the duo is known for a rare musical chemistry that breathes new life into centuries-old stories. Their performances are a journey through the haunting beauty and rhythmic energy of the Irish songbook, delivered with a polished, contemporary edge.
