Tá cliú domhanda ar an bhuíon ceol Gael Meiriceánach Solas a bunaíodh i Nua Eabhrac breis agus deich mbliana ó shin anois … tá an fidléir Winnie Horan de bhunadh Nua Eabhrac sa ghrúpa ón tús … agus i ndiaidh don bhoscadóir John Morrison fágáil, tháinig Mick McAuley, de bhunadh Chill Chainnigh, i gcomharbacht air … ní hamháin go bhfuil an iomaí albam taifeadta ag an bheirt le Solas féin, ach anuraidh d'eisigh siad albam le chéile dar teideal "Serenade" … a dtionlacán sa Seomra Suí anocht, tá Seán Óg Graham ón ghrúpa Beoga ….

Irish American super-group Solas were founded more than 10 years ago. Fiddler Winnie Horan who hails from New York has been with them from the start and Kilkenny man Mick McAuley joined the group later on when John Morrison left. Over the years the pair have recorded many albums with Solas and in 2006 Winnie and Mick joined forces for the first time as a duo for the release of their album "Serenade". They called into the "Seomra Suí" ahead of their performance in the Raw Bar Folk Club in the Garrick Bar in Belfast and on this occasion they were accompanied by Seán Óg Graham from the group "Beoga".
