Riogh

Riogh are one of Australia's most dynamic Celtic influenced bands. With powerful harmonies, beautiful and exciting instrumentation Riogh has moved audiences throughout Australian and New Zealand festivals, and with the recent addition of drums Riogh are sounding bigger and better than ever! Riogh members have a long history in folk music and also throughout the wider music scene in Australia and their individual musical experiences bring a unique style to this Celtic/Roots based act. Their music is passionate, transcendent, physical and sublime. Where they perform, audiences are swept along on an undercurrent of energy; a vocal and musical powerhouse which is captivating and compelling, subtle, and original. Here are songs of love and loss, of hearth and homeland; musical expressions of the human spirit; songs for modern times, which draw upon the wisdom of a culture rich in values and meaning.
