Om Quilty

Quilty bildades 1993 och bandet har genom åren etablerat sig som Sveriges främsta företrädare för irländsk folkmusik. Med personliga arrangemang, musikalisk virtuositet och klangfylld stämsång har de satt sin prägel på den traditionella musiken och rönt stor framgång på sina turnéer och i konsertsamarbeten med körer och symfoniorkestrar över hela landet.

2018 firade Quilty 25-års jubileum med en omfattande turné i Sverige och Tyskland. Premiären på fullsatta Dieselverkstaden i Stockholm direktsändes av Sveriges Radio P2 Live med Tina Ahlin som programvärd.

Inför Folk & Världsmusikgalan 2020 blev Quilty nominerad till Årets Band.

2020 – 2023 turnérade Quilty med sitt program Out on the Ocean – ett konsertprogram av irländska och skottska folkvisor med Atlanten som fond. Quiltys senaste album Out on the Ocean – Live släpptes sommaren 2022 och finns att köpa här. Skivan finns även på Spotify.

I mars 2023 firade Quilty 30-års jubileum med en omfattande jubileumsturné i ett musikaliskt möte och turnésamarbete med den irländske folkmusik-legendaren Andy Irvine. Läs mer …

About Quilty

Quilty was formed in 1993 and is considered to be one of the foremost bands of the Irish folkmusic scene in Scandinavia. Over the last three decades they have performed a huge number of concerts in Sweden, Germany and Norway and created a wide range of collaboration projects with choirs and symphony orchestras.

In 2018 Quilty celebrated their 25th anniversary with an extensive tour of Sweden and Germany inviting the audience to a nostalgic journey along their musical memory lane – ”The Best of Quilty.” The set list for the anniversary concert program was formed after an enthusiastic response to a Facebook campaign where the audience had voted on their favourite songs.

In 2020 Quilty was nominated Band of the Year at the national Folk & World Music Gala event.

Since 2020 Quilty has been touring with the program Out on the Ocean, a salty and tar scented concert combining Irish and Scottish songs with the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop. The latest album Out on the Ocean – Live was released in summer 2022 and is for sale here and also available on Spotify.

In 2023 Quilty invited the highly acclaimed Irish folk music legend Andy Irvine to join the band on a tour of Sweden celebrating Quilty’s 30th anniversary. The tour was a great success with 13 concerts at sold out venues and sparked the idea for future collaborations with Andy Irvine. Extending the musical palette Quilty and Andy Irvine now offer a concert program consisting of both Irish and Swedish traditional music – adding a new facet to the world music influences that have been Andy Irvine’s trade mark since the 70ies.  Read more …
