TROY DONOCKLEY & DAVE BAINBRIDGE

Prepare yourself for an evening of spiritual, atmospheric, and uplifting music that will stir the emotions, weaving complex patterns that echo the intricate knot work of the great Celtic artists and may even at times have you jigging and reeling like there's no tomorrow! A rare chance to catch two unique musicians together in an evening of music that will move, inspire and uplift. Troy Donockley and Dave Bainbridge are members of the acclaimed Celtic folk / rock fusion band Iona, described by 'Q Magazine' as “an exhilarating contemporary folk act, able to press traditional instruments convincingly into service alongside their electric counterparts". In their work with Iona, which spans 14 years and 8 albums, Donockley and Bainbridge have garnered the praise of such luminaries as Maire Brennan and Rick Wakeman whilst the list of artists they have collaborated with speaks for itself.

“Dave Bainbridge is a stunning player with absolute control over feel and emotion.” Wondrous Stories
“The effect is at times stunning, as huge ethereal soundscapes - the foundation stone of which is Dave Bainbridge’s haunting choice of keyboard washes - rise up from the hi-fi speakers.” Cross Rhythms
‘A completely tremendous guitar solo - I was floored.” Exposé (USA)
