Aoibhe Kettle

Instruments: Harp

Aoibhe Kettle is an accomplished harper and fiddle player from Wolfhill in County Laois, currently in her third year of undergraduate study at The Irish World Academy, University Limerick. Aoibhe has a number of All-Ireland accolades to her name, namely, 1st prize in Senior Harp Slow Airs 2024 at The All Ireland Fleadh Cheoil Na hÉireann.

Aoibhe’s musical passion lies in composing for harp and is hugely inspired by older traditional Irish music composers up to newer composers such as Bill Whelan and Michael O’Sullivan. She recently finished her composition, The Famine Suite for harp and will be recording this work and others on her up-coming EP, releasing later this year.

Aoibhe comes from a very musical family and performs regularly with her brother Naosie Kettle (Fiddle) and her sister Nell Kettle (Harp).
