Davy Spillane

Á idade de 12 anos, Spillane comezou a tocar as uilleann pipes.^[5] O seu pai animouno e inspirouno co seu amor por todos os xéneros musicais. Durante os seguintes tres anos tocou en sesións e coñeceu a moitos músicos irlandeses destacados. Con 16 anos, xirou por Irlanda, Gran Bretaña e Europa continental. En 1978, comezou a escribir a súa propia música. Como actor, fixo de xitano no filme de 1981 Traveller de Joe Comerford.^[5]

É membro fundador de Moving Hearts,^[6] xunto con Christy Moore e Dónal Lunny en 1981.^[5] Aínda que cada membro tiña unha intensa traxectoria na música folk irlandesa, a banda tocou principalmente composicións orixinais, ás veces con matices políticos e un son folk rock. O seu derradeiro álbum The Storm (1985) foi puramente instrumental e tivo varias pezas lentas escritas por Spillane. Despois, uniuse por sorpresa ao músico estadounidense Béla Fleck, o inglés Albert Lee, Jerry Douglas e outros para gravar un álbum debut de Davy Spillane coas súas novas composicións de bluegrass e blues, Atlantic Bridge,^[6] e na xira promocional en 1988 gravou Out of the Air, unha versión en directo de Atlantic Bridge.^[5] Spillane reuniu entón a un novo conxunto de músicos, incluíndo a Rory Gallagher e Kevin Glackin para gravar Shadow Hunter, un álbum de varios estilos de rock e folk. Este foi seguido por Pipedreams en 1991.^[5]

Spillane tocou en 1992 como solista convidado especial xunto ao acordeonista Máirtin O'Connor e Milladoiro nunha obra orquestral de Bill Whelan chamada The Seville Suite, describindo acontecementos en 1601 na historia hispano-irlandesa. Whelan traballou logo para Spillane e Andy Irvine no álbum, EastWind.^[7] En 1993, Spillane colaborou con músicos canadenses como Bryan Adams e Daniel Weaver no seu álbum Weeds máis My Heart Will go On de Celine Dion. En 1994, Spillane foi solista convidado especial en Riverdance. Spillane tamén colaborou con Rory Gallagher nos temas "The Road to Ballyalla", "Litton Lane" e "One For Phil", así como con Enya nos seus temas de 1988 "Exile" e "Na Laetha Geal M'Óige".

En 1992, Spillane compuxo música para a película de Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights de Peter Kosminsky e, en 1995, a de Rob Roy. Outras composicións e convites inclúen Sensual World de Kate Bush (1989), Voyager de Mike Oldfield (1996), MTV Unplugged de Bryan Adams, Van Morrison e Elvis Costello.^[5] Outros filmes foron Eat the Peach e The Disappearance of Finbar. O álbum de Paul Winter Journey with the Sun (2002). Spillane gañou un premio Grammy e tamén foi nomeado para o segundo.

Spillane fixo a súa aprendizaxe cos fabricantes de gaitas Dan Dowd e Johnny Burke e agora fabrica todos os seus propios instrumentos. No ano 2000 gravou con Kevin Glackin o seu único disco de melodías tradicionais, titulado Forgotten Days.
