Perfect Friction

Perfect Friction

Perfect Friction is a group of young musicians who came together through playing at Wicklow Trad sessions in Wicklow Town. The band features seven Trad musicians and a world-class vocalist, Rebecca Winckworth, who has toured extensively with Anúna among other groups.

The band’s music ranges from high-energy Trad sets with a full range of instruments (fiddle, flute, uilleann pipes, concertina, accordion, whistle, bodhran, guitar, piano), to pop and rock songs tastefully arranged with a Trad theme. The musicians, all from Wicklow, Dublin and Wexford, include four All-Ireland champions and collectively they deliver a sound that will have your foot tapping and will leave you wondering what the magic ingredient is. www.perfectfriction.ie

In partnership with Dublin City Council Arts Office, and as part of the Arts Council’s EU Presidency programme, Near Media Co-op are proud to present a weekend of Traditional Music from the EU featuring traditional musicians from Germany, Hungary, Basque Country & Ireland.
