Cillian & Niall Vallely w John Doyle

Niall and Cillian Vallelyshare one of Irish music's most thoroughbred pedigrees, Cillian has followed his father's choice of instrument, the pipesand currently works regularly with Lúnasa, while Niall is rated one of Ireland's finest contemporary exponents of theconcertina. 

John Doyle’s gifts as a guitarist, songwriter, vocalist, and producer have played an essential role in the ongoing renaissance of Irish traditional music.

As a member of Irish-American supergroup Solas – and a highly sought-after session player – Doyle pioneered a rhythmic, sophisticated approach to Irish guitar accompaniment, setting a new standard for the instrument. His playing encompasses hard-driving strumming, inventive chord voicings, precise single-note runs, and powerful rhythmic effects borrowed from traditional instruments such as the bodhran and fiddle.
