Milis

About Me

Milis are a fresh new duo born in Cork, Ireland in May 2007. They incorporate the joined talents of Ilse de Ziah and Niamh Varian-Barry. Both accomplished musicians in their own regard, this union is nothing short of powerful. They fuse their combined passion for trad and other styles. They are already in demand as a group in Europe and the States. This promises to be a group that is far from easily forgotten...
Milis, the ultimate divas, are at once tempting, modern and glamorous, embracing a touch of classicism. Inspired by visions, a mix of modern principles, classic elements, and the highest quality ingredients, the Milis fragrance brings forward the musical traditions of Ireland. They embody classic femininity with a modern sensibility and are the ultimate expression of a woman's self. The Milis fragrance is feminine and highly personal, subtle and yet meticulous. A contrast of strong personality and golden sweetness, it is a fragrance that you deserve.
The confidence of femininity, the celebration of talent, the intimacy of Milis. The music projects the edgy, sexy side of Milis. A modern woody-spiced chords radiating warmth and sensuality. A heady mix of energy, vibrancy, comfort and warmth. MAGNETIC, PROVOCATIVE, COOL - yet never aloof, Milis are aspirational....but within reach

"Milis is Ilse de Ziah on the cello and Niamh Varian-Barry on the fiddle, a duo of artists who handle their instruments like old friends, with enough charisma to charm the pants off the toughest crowd in downtown Franklin." Irish invasion - VALERIE NUTT, Williamson Herald, Nashville, Tennessee
