Third album release by trad band FullSet

By Mary Dennehy

TALLAGHT musician Janine Redmond is part of rising traditional Irish music band FullSet, which is taking its energetic sound into popular music venues such as Whelan’s - taking trad out of traditional venues and onto a larger stage.

Growing up in Kingswood, Tallaght, Janine went to primary school in St Kilian’s before attending St Mac Dara’s in Templeogue for secondary.

Irish dancing from an early age, Janine picked up the accordion at the tender age of seven and is now a member of FullSet, alongside fellow musicians Michael Harrison, fiddle, Eamonn Moloney, bodhran, Andy Meaney, guitar, Marianne Knight, vocals and flute, and Martino Vacca on the uilleann pipes.

FullSet recently launched its third album Notes between the Lines in Whelan’s and despite a busy schedule, Janine took five to speak with her local paper.
