Noel Rice From Geashill Co. Offaly. Began playing at a young age. Self taught flute and whistle player with a little help from the late musician Andy Conroy. Founded the band early eighties, and is very involved in passing on the music tradition to the younger generation.

The vibrant energy orchestrated by Cathleen Rice-Halliburton on the fiddle is demonstrated by her traditional style. Following in her grandfather's footsteps, John Rice, she gathered her technique through frequent sessions, numerous music trips to Ireland, and from the direction of her father. Cathleen has two children, Patricia, and Ian, who are always there to cheer mom on.

The powerful bodhrán playing of Kevin Rice again features prominently throughout the tunes. Kevin's style brings so much more than percussive qualities from the bodhrán as he literally plays notes on the skin. Kevin is regarded as one of the finest bodhrán players in the world.

Matt Sundstrom again takes the lead in Baal Tinne's rhythm section. Matt is responsible for an enormous amount of the crafting that goes into the band's arrangements. Both his intense, aggressive guitar playing and his skillful arranging abilities shine through.

Richard Roche Born and raised in Greystones, Co. Wicklow in Ireland. Having played music casually at home, moved to Chicago in 1994, joining Baal Tinne later that year. Classically trained pianist, current focus is on bringing jazz and contemporary influences to Baal Tinne's music.

The driving force behind Baal Tinne's sound is John Halliburton. From speaker cabinet construction to sound engineering, and making sure the band is at the gig on time. John does it all.
