Niamh Bury is one of the most compelling and exciting voices on the Irish folk scene. Her debut album, Yellow Roses, released March 2024 – earned #3 on Mojo’s Best Folk Albums of 2024. Signed to the iconic Claddagh Records, Niamh’s richly-textured folk sound and singular vocals has led her to share the stage with acts such as Flyte, Maddison Cunningham, Dermot Kennedy and Ye Vagabonds.

Niamh is one of the chief organisers of the iconic traditional singing session, The Night Before Larry Got Stretched, which famously takes place in The Cobblestone pub and whose founders include members of Lankum and Landless. Nominated for Best Emerging Artist at the 2025 RTE Folk Awards, she is one of the first new artists in almost two decades to be signed to Ireland’s most culturally important record label, Claddagh Records. Her second album is due for release in 2027
