Description

Price from: £150.00

The Whistler and Piper are Tad Sargent and Dominic Henderson who have formed a new duo to showcase the traditional Irish music that they have grown up playing and spent their career refining. Capturing the ancient and haunting sounds of the uilleann pipes and tin whistle, Tad and Dominic can emulate many of their influences such as Liam O’Flynn, Clannad, The Chieftains and Enya, to provide any event with the echoes of Celtic lullabies, Irish airs and graceful tunes.

Tad and Dominic have frequently travelled globally playing for various artists, theatre troops, as well as working together on projects and individually as session musicians.

I heard this duo some weeks ago, at The Irish Cultural in Hammersmith - my friend, Juliet Simpson, and I were very impressed with their hauntingly beautiful music and I believe that the other attendees thought the same, given the applause they received.
