Born in Glasgow to a family originally from Donegal, more precisely Doire na Mainséar, right next to Croithlí, the three Friel sisters have always been surrounded by Irish music, as far back as they can remember from their childhood. Their frequent visits to their family's homeland have had a lasting influence on their musical style, which is naturally rooted in Donegal.
