Celtic Connections: Mynolia & Burr Island

MYNOLIA Nashville-based folk singer/songwriter Mynolia blends melancholy instrumentation with lyrical surrealism, drawing melodic inspiration from traditional folk choirs and eastern flute music. Mynolia's music is shaped by a life lived inside of, and felt outside of various nations, between Canada, New Zealand, Berlin, Germany, and most recently a cabin in the remote American South, where she spent two years writing, recording, and recalibrating. There, she made use of field recordings and found instruments, taught herself production techniques, and drew deeply on a bone-deep spirituality that runs through everything she makes. Her sound is earthen and serene with cosmic moments threaded in, resulting in a mystic folk that is tinged in a Berliner haze and a Southern heat. Her debut album, All Things Heavy, was released via Bronze Rat Records (Seasick Steve, Jon Spencer), compiling tracks from originally self-released EPs. Now signed to UK label Full Time Hobby, Mynolia has recently released the new single 'Run Like Hell'. BURR ISLAND Over the last couple of years, Burr Island - best friends Tom England andSubhabh?sa - have built a beloved following for their rich 'sibling-style' harmonies, vivid lyrics inspired by friendship, positivity and hope, and cinematic, layered melodies. After releasing their debut album 'Days Dreamt' in 2024, the duo gained support from BBC Radio 6Music, BBC Radio 2 and Radio X, going onto support Robert Plant & Saving Grace, Ocean Colour Scene and Amy Macdonald on tour, alongside performing their own headline shows around the UK. Burr Island will release their second album 'It Was Always' on 4 th December and will announce further live shows soon.
