Le Chéile

Northern Ireland

Le Chéile are a newly formed trio comprising Cian McGrory (guitar), Phil
Acheson (Bass) and Josh Sampson (drums). The group have developed their
unique take on traditional Irish tunes, drawing on influences of funk, dance,
afrobeat and jazz fusion. Each member's experience in their respective styles
has led to an exciting and energising project.

Le Chéile have made notable strides since their 2024 formation, performing at
the Belfast Trad Fests’ festival club, appearing on BBC’s ‘Ceolta’ programme
and the release of single ‘Is Lucht Ormsa é’ in collaboration with singer and
flute player Múlú. With a second single and debut Ep to be released in the
coming year. There is lots to expect from the band.
