Sona is a musical duet consisting of Jackie McNally (vocalist and keyboards) and Jane Morrin (traditional flute and tin whistle).
We adapt our own unique traditional style to contemporary and classical pieces. We have a large bank of church folk songs, hymns, traditional airs, classical pieces, contemporary and popular pieces to give you plenty of ideas for your wedding. Sona plays at all parts of the ceremony where possible including the Mystery of Faith, Peace, Alleluia, and The Our Father if requested.
To get an idea of our style please take a look below for the music list of one of our weddings in 2008. We perform a mixture of both vocal and instrumental pieces. The beauty of choosing some instrumental pieces at your wedding is the ability to have them played at any part of the ceremony as there are fewer restrictions with instrumental pieces and where they are played during the mass.
Sona is available to play weddings throughout Ireland. If you have any special requests for any special song or musical piece, we are more than happy to fulfill your needs so please contact us by email or call for a chat!
For more information about us, and to check availability in 2009 please visit our website at www.irishtrad.com.
