Dueling uilleann pipe group Réalta have announced a new addition to their line up, and it’s a good one! All Ireland champion Dermot Mulholland joins the band with his expertise on bouzouki, vocals and double bass. Well known as a founding member of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winning band Ioscaid, the Co. Derry musician has previously featured as a guest with Réalta for gigs at the Lorient Interceltique Festival in Brittany and the Saarang Festival In India. The line up has proved a popular one and the extra depth provided Dermot’s bass, vocals and bouzouki will be a common feature of Réalta gigs in the future. The quartet have a busy schedule ahead with tours booked for Denmark, South Korea and Germany before the end of the year and a home tour in Ireland planned for early 2015.
