The Scotia Ensemble orchestra is Kerry’s only professional orchestra and its members are professional musicians and teachers around around the County.

The orchestra was set up in 2016 and has received multiple Arts Act Grants for its performances since then.

Some of the recordings from these concerts are available on their YouTube page. The orchestra is closely associated with the Sempre Music Academy in Kerry where many of the founding members teach.

Caitríona O’Sullivan has been a judge on TG4’s hit country music show ‘Glór Tíre’ for 16 years.

Also a singer-songwriter, she is currently working on her second album of original material in a pop country style. She has performed many times with the orchestra since its foundation.

In May 2021, she scored a no. 1 hit on the Irish country music charts with a pop-country original duet cowritten and performed with amazing singer songwriter Johnny Brady called ‘This Country Girl’.

She wrote the lyrics for Irish language version of ‘Fionnghuala’ as featured on the Late Late show and Eir ad. She had hit singles with her self penned songs ‘Ill be there’ and ‘Let yourself Go’ from her album ‘Fallen Angel’.
