Joleen, Lorna and Karen are three sisters from a little village in Donegal way way up north, called Malin...our dad is a Malin man, born and bred and our mum is a Glaswegian...she came on holidays to Donegal with her pals in the the 60s.... she met our Dad Joe....the rest is history as they say. A few years later we came along...six girls in total. Growing up in the countryside, right next to a piano teacher, it was no surprise that we all started to play music from a very early age...also our mother was involved in the running of the church choir so we all learned to sing in harmony from the word go...so basically back in those days ( i mean pre-internet and good car radios) we sang and sang and sang...you can imagine the trips to Scotland....
Since forming in 2002, as well as recording 2 albums (Between us and Morning Rush), the Henry Girls have scored and performed music for movies and documentaries (A Shine of Rainbows, Nationwide), scored and performed music for live theatre drama ( A Midsummer's Night Dream, The O Neill ), performed and toured with a contemporary dance theatre company(The Ripple Affect 2009), have been invited to do backing vocals for numerous other artists and TV shows (You're a Star on RTE1, the Late Late Show), regularly collaborate with other artists (Gawa Fusion, The Pyros, Finbarr Doherty, Jerry Harmon, Gameli Tordzro, Keith Power, Mark Black, Shunie Crampsey, Natty Wailer, Uni and her Ukelele), make regular radio (Lyric FM, RTE 1, Radio Ulster) and TV appearances (Blas Cheoil, First Stop on BBC2, Feilte on TG4, SRL on BBC2, Nationwide) and host a weekly acoustic session in the Persian Bar in Carndonagh, Co.Donegal...
