Buille 2 available exclusively from Crow Valley Music.

Buille is the title of the project put together by Armagh born brothers Niall and Caoimhín Vallely back in 2004.  Their eponymous release of that year, which was produced by Donald Shaw of Capercaillie and came out on the Vertical Records label, received wide-spread acclaim and was described as “ …a classic of new Irish music" (Living Tradition) and “…as fresh a breath that's blown through traditional (and roots) circles in a long, long time." (Irish Times).  They’re back now with a new album titled “Buille 2”. This is a much more ambitious project featuring more large scale compositions and arrangements and utilizing a much bigger ensemble while at the same time maintaining the unmistakable Buille sound through which the concertina and piano of the two brothers shines through.  The music on the new album displays the brothers’ grounding and deep understanding of traditional Irish music while at the same time integrating eclectic influences from the worlds of jazz & blues, Eastern Europe and contemporary classical music.
 
The music on the new album is made up entirely of new compositions arranged for an ensemble featuring:
Niall Vallely - concertina and Caoimhin Vallely - piano
with:
Zoë Conway – fiddle, Neil Yates – trumpet, Cillian Vallely – uilleann pipes, Ed Boyd - guitar, Kate Ellis – cello, Karen Dervan – viola, Brian Morrissey – bodhrán/percussion/banjo, and Paul Meehan - guitar.
 

Buille 2 is being launched this weekend and can be ordered now from www.crowvalleymusic.com

Turas na dTaoiseach - The Flight of the Earls


Turas na dTaoiseach is an evening of music, song and art commemorating the 400th anniversary of The Flight of the Earls, one of the most momentous and far-reaching events in Irish history. Taking place in Belfast's Grand Opera House as part of the Belfast Festival it is certain to be one of the most significant artistic contributions to this anniversary year.

The evening will feature newly composed music by Niall Vallely and Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, performed by a stellar cast of Ireland's foremost musicians. Singers Iarla Ó Lionáird and Karan Casey will join musicians such as piper Cillian Vallely, percussionist Mel Mercier and Niall Keegan on flute along with the Carolan String Orchestra. The concert will be recorded for broadcast by BBC Northern Ireland and will also have an important visual aspect with stunning new paintings dramatising The Flight of the Earls story by John B. Vallely, one of Ireland's foremost painters, being exhibited in the Grand Opera House foyer throughout the Festival.
