Fresh from their New Zealand tour with the Hothouse Flowers, Sionna are coming to Balcairn for one night only.
Sionna are a dynamic folk duo formed in Christchurch in 2023. With Helen’s haunting vocal harmonies and top class fiddle alongside Lorcan’s natural traditional Irish vocals and stunning accompaniment on bouzouki and guitar this duo will not only perform but thoroughly entertain audiences with their talent and witty personalities to boot.
Having started their career with sold out gigs in Fairfield House, Nelson and the prestigious The Piano in Christchurch in 2023 - Sionna reached further in 2024 playing at Akaroa International Music Festival and Canterbury Folk Festival. 2025 has proven to be a watershed year! Sionna were back for their annual gig at The Piano on 20th November and now debut at Balcairn hall!
Their debut album Mischievous Eyes is available right now on Spotify and all the other streaming places!
