Cristín Ruddy is a young singer/songwriter from Newry, Northern Ireland. Over the past three years she has played many gigs throughout Northern Ireland motivated by her time working with ‘The Making Music Workshop’.
A year ago The Cristín Ruddy Band was formed. Within a year they have played many support and headlining slots throughout Newry and the surrounding area including a gig at this year’s world renowned Fiddlers Green Festival and in May 2008 Cristín supported American musician Shawn Jones at the closing of the famous Blues on the Bay Festival in Warrenpoint.
Currently the band are planning to record an E.P and take their music to a wider audience with a number of gigs planned for the coming months.
With influences ranging from Tom Petty to Jerry Fish and Mudbug Club, together the band create a fusion of folk, country, pop, blues and funk. The only real way to experience the musical diversity is to catch a live show.
