Niilo Sirola

Niilo Sirola is a multi-instrumentalist from Tampere, Finland, best known for his work on mandolin, bouzouki, and banjo. He’s a key member of the Finnish medieval Celtic folk rock band Greenrose Faire, where his string skills shape their eclectic sound. His solo releases like *Irish Tunes on Mandolin and Banjo* (2016) and *The Spring Gathering* (2023) showcase his love for traditional Irish music, blending technical precision with folk-rooted energy. When he’s not recording, you’ll likely find him layering bouzouki melodies or diving into banjo-driven reels that feel both nostalgic and fresh.

For fans of Celtic folk with a Finnish twist, Sirola’s music offers a gateway to cross-continental acoustic storytelling. His *More Irish Tunes on Mandolin and Banjo* (2019) doubles down on this vibe, proving he’s as comfortable in a studio as he is in a pub session.
