Named after a time-honoured Irish traditional jig, Cherish The Ladies have become known as one of the most engaging ensembles in Irish music. Originally formed 20 years ago as a one-off concept, Cherish The Ladies have grown into an Irish traditional music sensation, literally the most successful and sought-after Irish-American groups in Celtic music history.

Over the years the group have played at festivals and concert halls all over the world, sharing the stage with entertainers like James Taylor, Joan Baez, Emmy Lou Harris and The Chieftains, to name but a few. The band’s many accolades include Entertainment Group of the Year (Irish Voice Newspaper) and International Group of the Year Award (Glasgow’s prestigious Celtic Connections).

In January the band performed at Celtic Connections for an incredible 13th time in the 15 years history of the Festival, to a sell-out audience in the Main Auditorium at the Royal Concert Hall. Cherish The Ladies are unique in that they are an all women traditional Irish band, who individually have a great love for and understanding of traditional music. This is apparent in each and every performance, where jigs, reels polkas and slip jigs are delivered with superb musicianship and singing, and the appearance of world class Irish dancers.
