Saint Sister are an Irish traditional duo, whose music is also described as "atmosfolk."[1][2][3]

Career

Morgan MacIntyre (from Belfast) and Gemma Doherty (from Derry) met at Trinity College, Dublin. They founded Saint Sister in 2014.[4] They were voted the “Best Irish Act" by the readers of The Irish Times in 2016.[5] Their debut album, Shape of Silence, was released in 2018 and was nominated for the Choice Music Prize. They performed an a cappella rendition of the song "Dreams" by The Cranberries at Lyra McKee's funeral in Belfast,[6] who was killed by the New IRA in April 2019.[7]

In 2020, the duo were part of an Irish collective of female singers and musicians called Irish Women in Harmony, that recorded a version of the song "Dreams" in aid of the charity Safe Ireland, which deals with domestic abuse which had reportedly risen significantly during the Covid-19 lockdown.[8][9]
