House Concert with Cillian Vallely, David Doocey and Alan Murray

This new trio features a unique collaboration between three of the best-known names in traditional Irish music: Cillian Vallely on uilleann pipes, David Doocey on fiddle, and Alan Murray on guitar and vocals. They released their debut album to great critical acclaim, including a four-star review from the Irish Times. Armagh native Cillian Vallely has established his name over the last two decades through his playing with award-winning Irish supergroup and Savannah Music Festival favorite Lúnasa, in addition to performing or recording with artists ranging from Bruce Springsteen to Declan O’Rourke. David Doocey, from Co. Mayo, is at the forefront of a younger generation of Irish musicians. He has won several awards for his outstanding fiddle playing, including the All-Ireland Fleadh, and has performed with Grada, Michael McGoldrick, Martin Hayes, and Sharon Shannon, among others. Guitarist, bouzouki player and singer Alan Murray hails from Glasgow, Scotland, where he grew up playing the whistle and later guitar. He has also worked with a wide range of artists, including Lúnasa, Eileen Ivers, and The Battlefield Band.
