The new album, 'The Madness of Crowds'
Troy Donockley has built up a formidable reputation as both a Composer / Arranger and Musician / Performer. He is also a leading virtuoso of the Uilleann Pipes.
Troy has performed and is known all over the place - Europe, Middle/Far East, Australia, Japan, USA and has worked and recorded with various other artists such as Iona, Maddy Prior, Maire Brennan (Clannad), Nightwish, Midge Ure, Barbara Dickson, Roy Harper, Alan Stivell, Lesley Garrett, Status Quo, Del Amitri, Mostly Autumn and many, many more.
His first album "The Unseen Stream" released in 1998, was critically acclaimed globally for its unique fusion of Traditional/Classical forms.
His second album "The Pursuit of Illusion" (2003) continued to push the boundaries with a highly individual blend of the English Classical and Irish Folk traditions.
And now, onto the new album "The Madness of Crowds"..... featuring a large cast of brilliant musicians it goes even further than before in the quest to make the most emotional and uncommercial music possible. If any modern music can shake off the ravages of fashion and hark back to a time when music was created and listened to as Art rather than as commodity and accessory, then by definition this does precisely that....the essence of that "lost world".
