Hailing from the Claddagh in Galway city, All Ireland Champions Maureen and Brendan Browne are a sibling powerhouse duo on fiddle, vocals and button accordion. Holding a long history of performance both on national and international stages, Maureen and Brendan are both founding members of the award winning Irish Traditional music band BackWest.

The Browne siblings released their debut album in 2017 entitled ‘The Long Walk’ and the following year, they released their second album entitled ‘Heritage Hall’. Produced by Maureen and Brendan, their albums portray a vast repertoire which celebrates the best essence of Irish traditional music and song. Their performances are vibrant, energetic and yet foster the organic nature of their home tradition and heritage. It is without question that they leave their audiences with the warmth of wanting more.

​Maureen and Brendan will be performing various repertoire of old Irish traditional tunes and songs in the Galway City Museum on 14 March 2026. Renditions of well-known songs such as Galway Bay, The Galway Shawl and the Old Claddagh Ring will feature in their programme of performance.
