Barrule is an award winning Celtic and folk trio from the Isle of Man.[1] The band's three members are: Tomas Callister (fiddle), Jamie Smith (accordion) and Adam Rhodes (bouzouki).[2] Barrule’s discography includes both original and traditional Manx and Gaelic[disambiguation needed] songs.[3]
In 2014, the trio won "Best Debut" in the Spiral Earth awards[4] and have since performed major festivals including Celtic Connections, WOMAD Charlton Park, Sidmouth, Festival Interceltique de Lorient (where they won the prestigious Trophée Loic Raison),[5] Lowender Peran Festival, Cornwall, and the National Celtic Festival in Melbourne. In the fall of 2013, Barrule was featured in Celtic Family Magazine’s debut issue.[6]
Barrule’s name pays tribute to the Manx summit and Celtic God Manannán mac Lir who made his home there.[7]
