Aeons (duo)
Aeons are an Irish electronica duo made up of Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh and Pádraig Rynne. They released their first singles, "Bealtaine" ('Beltane') agus "An Fhuil" ('Blood') in 2016,[1] [2], and their first album, Fís ('Vision') in May 2018[3][4].
NÓS Awards
The duo have received several nominations to, and have won twice in, the NÓS music awards, the principal awards for modern Irish-language music. In 2019, Aeons were nominated for 'Band/Musician of the Year'; Fís received a nomination for 'Album of the Year', and 'Cúramaí an tSaoil', one of the songs in Fís, was nominated for 'Song of the Year'[5][6], although it was Kneecap, a rap duo from Belfast, who in the end won each of these awards.[7] In 2017, Aeons won two NÓS awards, for 'Video of the Year', with the music video for Bealtaine, and 'Debut Act of the Year'. They also received three further nominations; Bealtaine agus An Fhuil, both for 'Song of the Year', and the duo themselves for 'Band/Musician of the Year'.[8]
