Tradfest: McCarthy Sisters

Jacqueline, Marion and Bernadette McCarthy were born in London to Irish parents who emigrated in the early 1950s. With their father a piper and concertina player, it was inevitable they’d grow up listening and playing with the legendary Irish musicians living in England. The sisters are currently involved in playing and teaching traditional music on a regular basis, and at annual events such as the Willie Clancy Summer School. With Jacqueline on the concertina, Marion on the uilleann pipes and whistle, and Bernadette on the fiddle and piano, the McCarthy’s inherited their father’s adoration for music, but created their own familial sound.
