We recently caught Niamh and her band at Harvest Time Blues in Monaghan. Andrew Strong was also performing at the festival, with Niamh joining him on stage to provide backing vocals. Their father Rob later joined Andrew on stage for a special performance, bringing the Strong family together on stage.
