Ali Barnes

/Ali Barnes is an experience performer and sought after session player specialising in Irish and Scottish traditional music. She runs award winning Scottish band Licence to Ceilidh and most recently can be seen performing with The Dhol Foundation expanding her repertoire to Bhangra and Celtic fusion. None of these sessions are a specific genre, people can play whatever they like. Ali loves to join in with all good tunes but will definitely play some Irish, Scottish & maybe even a bit of Bhangra if you ask her nicely ! Ali & her husband Philippe have produced 2 books of session tunes which are available on her website https://alibarnesmusic.co.uk/
