Billy Treacy & The Scope play a mixture of Irish Folk & Trad featuring new original songs as well as old time classics and of course traditional tunes (Jigs & Reels).
They are all full time musicians and can be found playing in and around the Temple Bar area of Dublin during the week playing for tourists or hosting their own Traditional Sessions in different venues (McNeills of Howth, The Cobblestone, The Shelbourne Hotel)
Currently they are recording new tracks for another album and have taken to the road at weekends to travel the country and play in Ireland’s Iconic Pubs.
Together and individually they have played with and shared the stage with some of the biggest names in Irish Music at various festivals across Europe.
‘Easy and Slow‘ is a lesser heard old Traditional Dublin Folk Ballad previously recorded by Dominic Behan, The Dubliners, Jim McCann & even Bob Dylan – and now a new version for the 21st century by Billy Treacy & The Scope.
Billy Treacy & The Scope’s new single is available to download and stream from all digital platforms now. They recently hosted their new single launch night at The Four Provinces, Kimmage.
