Matt Cranitch is renowned as a fiddle-player and teacher, both at home in Ireland and abroad. He has performed extensively at concerts and festivals, and has presented lectures, master-classes and workshops on various aspects of Irish music. He has won All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil titles, as well as the Fiddler of Dooney and the Oireachtas Crotty Cup.

The words "Button Accordion" and "Jackie Daly" are synonymous in the world of Irish traditional music. Described in the New York Times as "probably the best accordionist in Ireland," Jackie was born in Kanturk, Co. Cork, where he grew up surrounded by the rich music tradition of Sliabh Luachra.

Paul De Grae is a Dublin-born guitarist (and occasional singer), living in Kerry for many years. He has a particular interest in the music of Sliabh Luachra. He plays regularly at sessions, concerts and festivals throughout Ireland (particularly in Kerry, Cork and Clare) and has taught guitar workshops in Ireland and the USA.
