Artist description The Clarke Sisters are an acoustic three piece featuring two wild fiddles, innovative rhythm guitar and male and female vocals. And no, we're not really sisters! Our new CD delivers a fascinating combination of traditional Irish music and distinctive original tunes. From the riotous Clarke Sisters fiddle tune Into the Gorse via Emma’s soulful, unaccompanied rendition of She Moved Through the Fair to Willie’s expressive interpretation of Follow Me Up to Carlow we have created an exciting and varied album we hope you'll enjoy.
