Welcome to Arioso, a wedding music trio based in Cork!

We love to mix traditional with contemporary music, and arrange songs in refreshing new ways; Our sound combines the stringed instruments of the guitar, mandolin and bouzouki with a strong vocal emphasis.

All three of us contribute to the songs in different ways, bringing a diverse range of voices and harmonies.

Felicity sings and plays the mandolin with Arioso. She has experience gigging with Kennedy as the duo Connolly & Connolly.

She is also the principal singer in west-Cork based blues and rock band Momma Kong.

Clare brings to Arioso the discipline of competitive choirs; she was a member of Cantairi Mhuscrai and latterly Cantabile Vocal Ensemble, with whom she she won competitions at home and abroad.

Clare plays guitar and the low whistle, and is a naturally talented harmonist.

Kennedy sings, harmonises and plays guitar and bouzouki.

He is also a member of Momma Kong and the other half of Connolly & Connolly.
