Laois twins Polly and Lila Nolan will perform with their brother Rían
Talented Laois teenagers are in the running to win TG4’s Réalta Agus Gaolta this weekend.
The traditional musicians honed their skills with Camross Comhaltas and were approached by the TG4 show producers during the 2025 Leinster Fleadh.
Twins Polly and Lila Nolan are 15 years old and will be taking to the stage with their younger brother Rían, aged 13. All three are members of Camross Comhaltas and perform with Music Generation Laois and the Leinster Youth Trad Orchestra.
They reached the final as the judges’ Wildcard act. With Polly on the piano, Lila playing the fiddle and Rian keeping the beat on the bodhrán, these three teens from Mountrath will have the studio bouncing to their trad music.

A new champion will be crowned during the series finale of Réalta Agus Gaolta on Sunday, March 1 at 7.30pm.
