Ethereal and dreamy, experimenting with loops and time-signatures, The Time Crystals is a project of songs by Fionnuala  and Mike, with guest performers, across continents between Sligo Ireland and California

Singer/songwriter/guitarist - occasionally all three at once.

Hailing from the midlands of Ireland, Aoife Wolf melds searing goth-folk with lyrics that delve deep into uncanny worlds.  Drawing on influences such as Kate Bush, Nirvana, Cocteau Twins, and PJ Harvey, her moody and atmospheric songs have as many layers as the bogs that raised her. Her mesmerising live shows have captivated audiences across Ireland, where she has opened for renowned artists such as Joshua Burnside, Kathryn Joseph, Junior Brother, Anna Mieke, Lael Neale, Ichiko Aoba and TomBerlin. This recognition led to her performing at the OutPut and Ireland Music Week showcase festivals, as well as tastemaker festivals such as Other Voices, Spilt Milk and Feile na Greine. Wolf has received airplay on BBC Radio, RTE Radio one and two as well as being being tipped by Tony Clayton Lea as one of “The Irish under-the-radar acts you need to listen to right now”. With The Wetlands receiving over 100k streams on Spotify and features on official Spotify and Apple Music playlists, Aoife's music has resonated with listeners across the island and beyond, earning her new fans in the UK and US. In 2023 Aoife has been performing to audiences across Ireland, France and Germany.
