John Devine is an
uilleann piper and multiinstrumentalist
and his new
album P.L.A.Y. is his first solo
recording. It draws on a wide
variety of musical experiences
and styles to explore a
very personal, life-long
relationship with traditional
Irish music.
Recently
described as ‘Frank Zappa
meets the Chieftains’, John has used old recordings, dialogue
and modern recording techniques to create musical montages
and sound scapes. The CD features Clive Carroll, Sam Proctor,
Alan McCleod, Katherine Rogan, Caz, Joe and Bernie Devine,
Steve Rodford and Bryan Smith.
