Niamh McKinney is a singer-songwriter from Wicklow. Having kept notebooks of poetry since childhood, she didn't start writing songs until one day in 2015, when songs suddenly started pouring out. Unsure as to the nature of what she had composed during this first creative burst, a form of validation came a month later when she won the Allingham Songwriting Competition with one of the first songs she wrote.
      Poetically rich - both lyrically and melodically - her heart-rending songs draw on stories and life experience, captivating by way of their ethereal sense of urgency and foreboding.
     Niamh writes her songs a capella. Her musical partner and husband Stephen McKinney (who has previously played guitar and synths with prog rock fusion band Leo Drezden) then crafts evocative guitar accompaniment which interweaves seamlessly with the songs, complementing their haunting quality. The two are currently working on producing their debut album.

Music Producer / Film Soundtrack composer / Recording Studio /Musician based in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Its not trad but its not folk either, a mix of rip-roaring delicately played instrumental compositions taking inspiration from all over Europe, together with  spectacular vocals. The Silken Same's music has its roots in the folk and traditional realms for sure, but has the scope to reach a wider audience.
 
Stating off life under Mossy Nolan's own name, the duo released an album first in 2012 and an EP in 2016. The album received lavish praise from well-respected corners of the musicpress, and topped album of 2012 polls. It comprised of elegantly crafted songs and tunes both original and traditional played on Bouzouki and Mandolin. Colm's edgy style of guitar playing, both acoustic and electronic, adds a dynamic characteristic throughout the record and compliments the material beautifully.

Their first release as The Silken Same was traditional song Jennifer Gentle. 


"If we’re talking about being firmly rooted between the traditional and the modern, then no-one embodies that more perfectly"  Nialler9

"bursting with both charm and integrity"  2UIBestow

"this is an excellent debut album by Mossy Nolan, with a fine mixture of songs and tunes both old and new, played and sung with great skill and passion" Peter Crowley (FATEA)
