Mickey & Michelle (AUS)
Prepare to be captivated by Australia’s most riveting harp and fiddle duo, blending breathtaking musicianship with original music full of wonder.
Descending from the mountains are harp and fiddle duo Mickey & Michelle, whose energetic and virtuosic performances have captured hearts throughout Australia and New Zealand. Celebrated for their intricate arrangements and heartfelt songwriting, Mickey & Michelle weave a gorgeous ‘chamber-folk’ tapestry of original Celtic music infused with vocal harmony and fiery improvisations.
Mickey & Michelle’s journey began in Aotearoa with a wild idea: to walk the length of New Zealand’s 3000km Te Araroa Trail for six months, performing concerts along the way. This experience forged a deep connection between their music, the natural world and the communities they encountered - a spirit that continues to shape their creative path.
Now returning to Aotearoa for their third tour, Mickey & Michelle bring with them new music shaped by years of travel, including their five-month Solace in Wonder Northern Hemisphere tour through Canada, UK, Europe and Iceland. Along the way, they hiked the 800km High Route of the Pyrenees, formed lasting friendships with musicians around the world, and continued to find inspiration in the landscapes and people they encountered.
With performances that move effortlessly between exhilarating instrumental journeys and moments of breathtaking reflection, Mickey & Michelle invite audiences into a world where adventure, storytelling and imagination meet.
Mickey & Michelle lead the Festival Orchestra where they will teach some cracking Celtic tunes from around the world.
