Triske are a Celtic group from Wellington. They came together in 2021 around an eclectic range of music. Their original songs are a uniquely Kiwi take on the Celtic sound; they mix these with delicate traditional songs and foot-stomping dance tunes from Ireland, Scotland and Brittany. In 2023 they released their debut EP Flightless, a collection of original and traditional songs. One can listen to this via Spotify, iTunes or the band's own website. Their launch party for Flightless will be at the Wellington Bluegrass Society on Saturday 5th August 2023.
From Whangarei, Em Griffiths' ancestors travelled to New Zealand from County Armagh in 1843. After eleven years of classical violin in Auckland, Em moved to Wellington where she began learning traditional Celtic music at Victoria University Vicfolk club and the Welsh Dragon Irish sessions. Em plays fiddle and whistle with Triske. Now teaching violin and fiddle, Em also plays with Celtic bands Ceann an Éisc, Crossroads and Otherwise Brilliant, and plays céilís with The Great Beag Céilí Band.
