The Celtic band Orion has been a going concern since 1987. Its music testifies to a wholly personal approach of the Celtic tradition. Powerfully swinging dance tunes alternate with haunting slow airs, graceful melodies and beautifully crafted traditional songs . On their first three albums, Orion also guides the listener through less known music by Turlough O'Carolan, the blind Irish harpist from the 18th century. Today the band is playing almost exclusively its own compositions, combining a multitude of musical influences.

Orion has played an impressive number of concerts and festivals, touring from Galway in the west of Ireland down to the Gaza strip in the Middle East. The group appeared in many radio and television shows and was highly praised on Radio France, BBC, the Irish radio, and the Belgian VRT-RTBF.

Along with other artists such as The Chieftains, The Corrs, Altan, Déanta, The Poozies, Milladoiro, Billy Jackson of Ossian fame, Capercaillie, John Whelan and Eileen Ivers, Maighread Ni Dhomhnaill, Dan Ar Braz, Loreena Mc Kennitt, Carlos Nunez, ... Orion appears on more than twenty compilation albums (Narada-records, Sony Music, Earthtone-Universal, Keltia Musique, Fonofolk, ... )
