Muireann Bradley

Irish guitarist and singer Muireann Bradley performs at Stone Nest, a London venue for concerts and shows. The act plays blues and ragtime on guitar.

Muireann Bradley is an Irish musician from County Donegal who sings and plays rural blues and ragtime on guitar, using the fingerpicking style of the original 1920s to 1940s artists. Her debut album, I Kept These Old Blues (2023), was recorded during the Covid period, when studio time became available, and it began when the artist was 14.

Bradley started playing guitar at the age of nine, encouraged by a father who loved the blues. Her playing and storytelling draw on the work of Elizabeth Cotten and Memphis Minnie, and Jools Holland invited the guitarist to perform on the Hootenanny programme.

Stone Nest is an arts organisation and performance venue in London's West End that presents concerts and shows. The evening suits listeners who want to hear acoustic blues played closely to its early roots.
