About

Réalta, the dynamic Belfast-based traditional group, is an exciting act on the Irish music scene, earning stellar reviews for their live performances and innovative approach to traditional melodies.

Irish Music Magazine described their debut Open The Door For Three as “a full-bodied pipe and whistle extravaganza” and summarised their follow-up album Clear Skies by writing “Réalta have grown bigger, bolder and braver and this is one of the best CDs to have come out of Ireland this year!” For their most recent release, Thing of the Earth, Irish Music Magazine confirmed: "Réalta have a sound all of their own - exciting, dynamic and addictive".

Réalta have toured extensively throughout Europe, Asia, and North America, and their unique approach to the genre has made them a festival favourite. Featuring dual uilleann pipes, whistles, guitars, mandolin, bodhrán, and fiddle, the band's infectious energy, impressive musicianship, creativity, and deep love for the music are evident throughout every performance.


Listeners can expect to journey through energetic reels, rhythmic jigs, soulful airs, and thought-provoking songs... blending words and melodies from sources both old and new.
