Winners of Youth Artist of the Year at the 2024 AFMAs, Apolline is a lively group of young folkies fuelled by the love of all things folk and copious cups of tea. Equipped with alluring voices, formidable tunes, and an extensive collection of colourful socks, the group views folk music with an exciting, genre-bending perspective. Their unique instrumentation of fiddle, (Luisa Hickey), cello (Tess Hickey) and double bass (Laura Heaney) is skillfully used to create highly intricate arrangements that range from energetic dance sets to hauntingly intimate songs, all of which draw in audiences from all walks of musical life.
