DAVY SPILLANE
The Unplugged songs that feature his work, including "Cuts Like a Knife," "I'm Ready," and "If You Love Someone" are absolutely fantastic.
Lately, I just can't stop listening to this album!
Davy Spillane is Ireland's foremost performer of the Irish low whistle and the Uilleann Pipes, both very beautiful instruments. Mr. Spillane is an incredible performer, both in his own right or as a contributor to the works other artists.
Davy Spillane was born in Dublin in 1959. What is also cool about him is that he makes the pipes that he plays. He began his apprenticeship to pipemaking back in the early 70's. Davy was always interested in pipemaking so that he could have more control and input over the tone and tuning of his own pipes as a player. Even today as a professional musician, he is regarded as one of the country's leading pipemakers.
