Inspired by the success of a series of experimental concerts in 2011, Buille and friends are set to unleash their new musical extravaganza on a 7-date tour across Ireland.
‘Junctions’ was a series of 6 concerts which took place in Cork City and saw Buille host some of the most high profile gifted musicians in international folk music including Béla Fleck, Martin Hayes, Jean Michel Veillon, Karen Matheson, Steve Cooney, Arty McGlynn, Michael McGoldrick, Dónal Lunny, and many others.
This new project will feature new music conceived for the original series as well as new arrangements of pieces from sources as diverse as Steve Reich and Joe Zawinul. The odd jig and reel might feature as well for some balance!
The touring cast will include Armagh brothers Niall & Caoimhín Vallely on concertina and piano, Ed Boyd on guitar, Karan Casey on vocals, Kenneth Edge on saxophone and the incredible dancing of Nic Gareiss.

More details on the tour page.
This project is funded by Arts Council Touring.

Here's a new track we just recorded - you can download it for free from Soundcloud. It features Niall and Caoimhín along with Seán Óg Graham (guitar), Brian Morrissey (bodhrán), Ken Edge (sax and clarinet) and Art O'Leary (programming).

"...another spine-tingling collection that bursts with originality...A thoroughly challenging collection that will stimulate brainwaves and pelvic girdles in equal measure."

The new album just received a 4 Star review from the Irish Times - click here to read.
