The Maguires

The Maguires is a four-piece traditional Irish music family band from Wicklow, Ireland. In 2017, they embarked on their first US tour, wowing audiences in six states and getting standing ovations everywhere they played. The highlights of the tour were performances at Montana Folk Festival, and at the largest Irish cultural event in the world, Milwaukee Irish Fest, where they played to c. 5000 people. The band consists of three Maguire kids: Emma (17) on fiddle, flute & whistle; Aoife (15) on concertina & uilleann pipes; Sean (12) on bodhrán; and Dad, Philip, on guitar. The young ages of the kids belie their musical ability and accomplishments, having already clocked up 28 years of musical development between them. When The Maguires take to the stage, the audience very quickly forgets how young the kids are and they become enraptured by the driving rhythm of their music.
