Musical families are often the backbone of multi-generational continuity within the global community, and none is more impressive in upholding the best principles of the tradition than the Mulcahys of Abbeyfeale. Mick, Louise, and Michelle Mulcahy were awarded the prestigious Gradam Ceoil TG4 in 2023. They play a dazzling array of instruments, but it’s the sweetness of their ensemble playing that is most striking. Their latest family album, The Reel Note, has received worldwide acclaim and was awarded Trad Connect Album of the Year in 2017.
Mick Mulcahy is a living legend in Irish accordion playing, with a rare repertoire of old tunes played in his distinctive style. This personal touch has been passed down to his daughters, Louise and Michelle. The family has toured extensively throughout Europe, America, Asia, New Zealand, and Australia, featuring on numerous radio and television programs.
Both daughters have been recognized individually; Louise received the Liam O’Flynn Award in 2022, and Michelle was awarded the TG4 Ceoltóir Óg na Bliana in 2006. Mick received the Bardic Award in 2017.
The Irish Times praised their music as “traditional Irish music at its natural, unadulterated, and most seductive best.”
