The String Ninjas Defy the AI Wave | Belfast News

Two Belfast musicians, Mick Conlon and Gavin Ferris, known as The String Ninjas, are redefining pub music with just violin and guitar—layered, unexpected, and deeply atmospheric. Once sidelined by injury, Mick returned to music, bonding with Gavin at open mics to craft a sound that rivals full bands without a single voice. Their eclectic tastes span Led Zeppelin to Sugababes, but they’re sounding the alarm on a dying open mic scene and the threat of AI music, which they see as soulless and unfair to real artists. With no backing, they’re fighting alone—but they’re determined to keep Belfast’s live music alive, one sensual, unforgettable night at a time.
