Based in County Wexford, Ireland, The Sweet Sorrows are veteran Irish singer-songwriter Sammy Horner and his Australian wife Kylie.
They tour globally with their blend of original and trad music delighting audiences with their humour and vocal harmonies. Sammy's guitar and bodhran is matched well by Kylie's whistles, melodica and accordion.
Sammy and Kylie Horner formed The Sweet Sorrows in 2012 after moving to Canada from their native countries, Ireland and Australia. They have been based in County Wexford, Ireland since 2016.
Sammy Horner was the founding member of Celtic Rock combo, The Electrics.
He made seven albums with the band and toured extensively in Europe and the USA.
He has a successful solo career and almost single handedly brought a new feel to spiritual music with his ground breaking Celtic Praise series.
He has played shows in Europe, USA, Canada, The Far East, South Africa and Australia.
With over 30 albums in his body of work, he has received critically acclaimed reviews and has a large fan base globally.
He has performed at major festivals all over the world and produces other artists in both Europe and the USA.
Sammy has also played bass for Buddy Miller, Julie Miller, Mitch McVicker and Glen Kaiser.
He has shared stages with Motorhead, Cliff Richard, The Alarm, Therapy?, Bob Geldof, Bruce Cockburn and Martin Joseph.
His songs have been covered by numerous artists including Buddy and Julie Miller.
Kylie was involved in music from an early age, received vocal and ballet training as well as learning piano and flute.
She was a model both for visual and voice over work. She has been a lead vocalist and backing vocalist for bands in Australia, The Middle East and the USA.
