Armagh brothers Niall (concertina) and Caoimhín (piano) Vallely celebrate the release of their new CD, ‘Buille 2’, accompanied by Sean Óg Graham on guitar. Buille’s music is based on traditional forms but freely borrowed stylistic elements from various genres including jazz, blues, Eastern European music and contempora...ry classical music. Buille 2 features more large scale compositions and arrangements, utilising a much bigger ensemble including the likes of Zoe Conway and Kate Ellis, while at the same time maintaining the unmistakable Buille sound, through which the concertina and piano of the two brothers shines through.

“Buille is as fresh a breath that’s blown through traditional (and roots) circles in a long, long time.” Irish Times
