A runaway highlight of the 2022 Ards International Guitar Festival, String Ninjas are a Belfast based instrumental duo consisting of Fingerstyle Guitarist Gavin Ferris and Electric Violinist Mick Conlon.
Formed in 2017 against the backdrop of the Belfast open mic/music scene the pair quickly established themselves - and redefined what it is to be a ‘covers’ act. Their unique sound, characterised by heavy basslines, complex rhythms, technical solos and advanced performance techniques, has helped the Ninjas stand out, transfixing viewers with their energetic live performances and warm, welcoming personalities.
Performing at a number of high-profile music events such as Sunflower Fest, Stendhal, Dalriada Festival and the Hilden Beer & Music Festival, the Ninjas have wowed all kinds of audiences with their distinctive arrangements of modern classics - from 90s Dance Music to Classic Rock, Pop to Jazz, Bluegrass to Trip-Hop, no genre is safe!
The unique blend of grooving, intricate fingerstyle guitar parts intertwined with virtuoso Jimi Hendrix-influenced electric violin make for the perfect storm - and will leave you wanting more.
