Mount Juliet combines the awesome vocal power of two of Edinburgh's finest singer-songwriters - Roy Henderson and Hannah O'Reilly (now Henderson). Indulging in their joint love of contemporary country, folk and countrified pop, Mount Juliet concentrate on beautiful harmonies, jangly guitars and that magic that happens when couples sing together. Our song 'Breathing Out' has been nominated in the 'Best New Folk Song' category in the Just Plain Folk Awards 2017/18.
Mount Juliet is now available for gigs in the Poitou-Charentes in France.
Roy has performed extensively throughout Scotland, as well as in England and the USA in every conceivable type and size of venue, been much in demand as a session guitarist and singer and his voice and guitar were regularly heard on TV/Radio commercials in the 1990’s. Roy is known for his prolific song writing and emotion-packed live performances which have a kind of raw power and intensity much commented on over many years.
Hannah's solo career has taken her around the world, from New Zealand and Canada to France and Scotland, playing festivals such as Wickerman (Scotland), Fete de la Musique (Lyon), The Stan Rogers Folk Festival (Canada), Just So Festival (England), and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. With a dark sense of humour, and a brash manner on stage, she has been described as 'bawdy, bold and beautiful'.
