Angelina Carberry

Angelina Carberry is a tenor banjo player from an Irish family well-known in traditional music circles. She began playing the tin whistle at a young age, and soon moved to the banjo, as did both her father Peter and her grandfather Kevin. Her style is measured but driven, given tunes room to breathe while assuring that the lilt of the notes is heard. She is particularly adept at playing hornpipes, the stuttering rhythms common in both Irish and English folk music.
