The Henry Girls are sisters Karen, Lorna and Joleen McLaughlin from the most Northerly part of Co. Donegal. The trio formed as a professional music group in 2001 after Lorna and Karen returned from living in Australia where they started to perform and write songs. Joleen the youngest of the three was finishing her leaving certificate and was becoming a very promising harp and piano player so it was a natural progression to join together.
They wrote and recorded their first album later that year, produced by Maire Breathnach. They have since gone on to record 5 more original studio albums, a couple of Eps and a live album of music by The Boswell Sisters of New Orleans (released February 2020).
Infused with the rich cultural heritage of their native Donegal but with a�transatlantic flavour their music has been described as “full bodied and powerfully dynamic” by Froots magazine. They have successfully learned to interweave their traditional roots with contemporary elements, earning them both commercial success and spectacular critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic.
As well as writing and recording albums The Henry Girls have written and performed music for Theatre productions, Dance pieces, Children’s shows and film and television, including the Canadian/Irish co-production “A shine of Rainbows” (2008) for which they received an IFTA nomination for their contribution to the musical score.
