The Friel Sisters, featuring sisters Anna, Sheila and Clare Friel, alongside Cathal Ó Curráin and Marty Barry are traditional musicians, known for their powerful music and rich unison singing. The Friel Sisters have performed in various venues and festivals all over the world and deliver performances full of energy, heart and warmth. Anna, Sheila and Clare are traditional musicians from northwest Donegal, brought up in the Donegal diaspora of Glasgow.

They credit their musical development to trips over and back between their homes in Glasgow and Donegal and have remained deeply connected to their Donegal roots, playing a mixture of music interspersed with songs in Irish and English, many from their family repertoire. They are now based in the Donegal Gaeltacht.

The Friel Sisters also features Marty Barry, guitar player and singer from Banbridge, Co Down and Cathal Ó Curráin, bouzouki player and singer from Gaoth Dobhair, who was recently awarded Best Emerging Artist at the RTÉ Folk Awards.
