Sal Heneghan

Sal is Kat's sister.

She released an eponymous album (Sal) in 2020. Kate did perform on the album as well.

The name of the album is simply ‘SAL’. It’s a traditional Irish album of my style of music with some of my favourite tunes on it. There are ten tracks on the CD and I play the fiddle and the harp on it. I also have two songs on the album. My family feature on it as well. My Mom plays fiddle, my sister Kate plays the fiddle, my sister Maggie plays harp and my brother Paddy sings and plays the uileann pipes. It was a little bit of a family project.


I come across another fun fact too: Sal is a member of Biird, which of course is the same group Ciara is in.

Nice find! Maybe she recommended Kate for CW, knowing Ciara was going on tour with BIIRD???

I’m listening to her album now. She’s a great harpist! I also read the article you linked and can relate to the pain of harp strings snapping…every time I tune, it’s like handling a grenade 

Isn’t she one of the fiddlers for BIIRD? It’s interesting how both she and Kate play the fiddle and harp (Sal also mentioned the electric violin in the article, which Kate also plays). Maybe everyone in the family plays them.
