Alannah Thornburgh Bio - Alannah a multi instrumentalist and composer from the wild west of Ireland with a focus on traditional Irish harp. Alannah’s music explores her family heritage, reimagining melodies from the Irish harping and American folk & jazz traditions. This cross-genre interaction and juxtaposition of old melodies with contemporary harmonies and technique is interwoven throughout her music, described as being ‘unforced, fluid and utterly at home in her own sound’ (The Irish Times). Alannah will release her debut solo album ‘Shapeshifter’ on February 12th 2025. The album is a collection of compositions inspired by fairy folklore & mythology in rural Ireland.
