RíRá is a contemporary traditional band from Galway, Ireland that has developed a reputation as a group of fine entertainers, bringing a unique, infectious energy to their performance. Their contemporary interpretations of traditional songs and tunes coupled with their imaginative take on modern pieces, has earned this band a strong following across Ireland and internationally.
The band, whose roots are from Tuam town and surrounds, have worked with the Saw Doctors on several occasions, opening gigs for them in Galway and in Manchester, UK. Following a very successful single release "Bring It All Your Love" the band was chosen to play at Dublin's Hard Working class Heroes Festival last year. Selected from over 700 applications, RíRá was the only traditional outfit to play at Ireland's number one showcase for indigenous musicians.
