The Swedish band Quilty is a highly renowned interpreter of traditional Irish music and considered to be the foremost band of the Irish folk music scene in Scandinavia. The band was formed in 1993 and has over the last three decades performed a huge number of concerts in Sweden, Germany and Norway, and created a wide range of collaborations with choirs and symphony orchestras.
In 2018 Quilty celebrated their 25th anniversary with an extensive tour of Sweden and Germany inviting the audience to a nostalgic journey along their musical memory lane – "The Best of Quilty.” The set list for the anniversary was formed after an enthusiastic response to a Facebook campaign where the audience had voted on their favourite songs.
In 2020 Quilty was nominated Band of the Year at the national Folk & World Music Gala event.
Since 2020 Quilty has been touring with the program Out on the Ocean - sea shanties, emigration songs, love ballads and songs about epic adventures at sea in a salty and tar scented concert program combining Irish and Scottish songs with the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop.
In 2023 Quilty invited Andy Irvine to join the band on a tour of Sweden celebrating Quilty’s 30th anniversary. The highly acclaimed tour was a great success with 13 concerts at sold out venues and sparked the idea for future collaborations with Andy Irvine. Extending the musical palette Andy Irvine & Quilty now offer a mutual concert program consisting of both Irish and Swedish traditional music - adding a new facet to the world music influences that have been Andy Irvine’s trademark since early 70ies.
