Bella Gaffney

2016 Celtic Connections Danny Kyle Award winner Bella Gaffney writes folk inspired songs which she performs along with her own original arrangements of traditional pieces. 2023 saw the release of Bella's new album Reflections which is inspired by connections made over the lockdown period. Her single, Blood in the Earth, a duet with Leesa Gentz (Hussy Hicks) was released in this year to great acclaim along with airplay on BBC radio 2. Bella is also part of sought after folk band The Magpies ('effervescent' The Sunday Times).
