WHO IS ISHNA?

Fronted by husband-wife duo Ciaran Nagle and Tara Novak (both of Riverdance and The Three Irish Tenors), ISHNA is a Contemporary Irish Folk Band. The band members come from all over the world, hailing from different musical backgrounds. Together they enjoy exploring the rhythms and pathos of the music of Ireland. Known for their exuberant instrumental jigs and reels as well as their soaring vocal numbers, featuring Ciaran’s powerful tenor voice as well as intimate vocal harmonies, Ishna captures the nostalgia of the old sod while having its feet firmly planted in the Ireland of today.
