	Davy Spillane and Kevin Glackin
		Davy Spillane is a well known uilleann piper from his time with The Moving Hearts, Riverdance and his own band.
		Davy Spillane seems to be trying to avoid using slides and bends, but he doesn't appear to have much to replace them, unlike contemporaries such as Robbie Hannan or Mick O'Brien.
		This is a good choice for Spillane as it fits his style, relying on simple ornamentation and a good command of the chanter although once or twice his variations drift into the "mood music" feel of some of his own compositions.

		Davy Spillane was born in Dublin in 1959, were he completed his entire education in the Irish language, and while at school learnt the tin whistle and uilleann pipes.

	TARA3026 - Davy Spillane : Pipedreams
		Pipedreams is the culmination of a musical journey that Davy started with his 'Out Of The Air' album in 1988 and later progressed with his 'Atlantic Bridge' and 'Shadow Hunter' albums.
		With this album Davy Spillane has proved yet again that the richness of the native tradition is as strong as ever it was perceived, and its potential for development is quite a ways from being exhausted.
		Spillane's piping is more fluid than ever, although one can't help pondering the fact that although the disc's cover picture shows Spillane nursing a fully plumbed-up set of uilleann pipes, drones and regulators glittering purposefully, you only really hear the chanter on these recordings.

		And Spillane is known to own a big-hole Overton low D. On the chiffboard meantime, the Davy Spillane low D took on mythical status and reports of it were treated as apocryphal.
		The Spillane low D that finally surfaced is a "Howard" style low D (aluminum tube with plastic head) not an "Overton" style low D (all aluminum).
		I shouldn't wonder that Spillane hasn't in the past had a whistle pushed on him, only to hear the maker then claim that "Spillane plays XYZ whistles." Even if that wasn't the case, as Davy Spillane I'd be careful and generally shy about confirming rumors that I play this or that instrument.

		In the Spring of 2004, a musician who I knew to have had some direct contact with Davy let it be known that Davy was in the late stages of producing his own line of low whistles for real this time.
		I have corresponded with Davy about this but his language, in my opinion, leaves some doubt about precisely what he means when he says he plays "his own" whistles.
		At this point, my belief (which I have recently shared with Davy and so I'm not talking about him behind his back) is that he started with a whistle made by someone else, most likely Bernard Overton, and did some degree of modifications on it.

		Davy's very funny, which you wouldn't think from his music.
		DAVY SPILLANE: At about twelve or thirteen, when I started playing the tin whistle.

	Davy Spillane: HIGH ABOVE THE "SEA OF DREAMS"
		Spillane is an in-demand musician who has played Uilleann pipes and/or low whistles on recordings by Van Morrison, Elvis Costello, Kate Bush, Bryan Adams, Sinead O'Connor and others.
		Spillane has been an important part of Ireland's music scene since he was a founding member of the band Moving Hearts in the early '80s.
		I've got this list of people I was involved with, and they create variety in my life, and some of the things are more to my personal taste than other things, but it's all part of my work, and they're not necessarily the things I'm proudest of.

		O'Connor, who employed Spillane on her 1987 Gospel Oak EP, returns the favor here, singing "The Dreaming of the Bones" and "Danny Boy." That latter warhorse is particularly striking; say what you will about Sinead, she's always been a commanding interpreter.
		Davy Spillane is outrageously talented and a master technician but I'm personally disappointed to see him move farther and farther afield with this....Irish meditation music.
		Spillane has done well in influencing the musicians and artists he has worked with, for his music brings great wonder and inspiration to those who hear.

	Paul James' Music Review: Irish Folk Music
		His style is more classically traditional than Davy Spillane (see later) and perhaps less flamboyant, but in his hands, the Pipes are brimming with Irish life.
		At the end of the day, I suppose I prefer Davy Spillane's more passionate approach to the Uilleann Pipes, than Liam O' Flynn's more classical measured playing, but as an example of the latter, this is pretty much the best to be found in the world.
		One must not overlook, of course, that Davy Spillane is also an accomplished player of the Low Whistle, which he has played on many pieces on his CDs.

		Davy has played with Van Morrison, Chris Rea, Bryan Adams and is the uilleann pipe player seen in RIVERDANCE.
		Using their Irish heritage, and incorporating Barry's love of the blues, both he and Davy have managed to interweave Irish traditional music with the blues into a totally new and invigorating musical sound that could probably best be described as "CELTIC BLUES".
		Davy Spillane is a pleasure to hear as always, and obviously knows what musicians are worth hanging out with.

		Tony Molloy played bass and had a big hand in the early structure of the tunes; Paul Moran and Noel Eccles played a bewildering array of percussive instruments and Ken Edge and Carl Geraghty played Soprano Saxophones.

		I was equally excited that he should agree as I was a huge fan of Rory's, and was keen to hear the result of two such soulful players from different traditions coming together on record.
		It was Davy and the band who were nervous at the prospect of playing with Rory.
		He was relaxed, gentle and easy...he was most gracious with the others...shy even (totally different than his stage persona)...and once we all got talking guitars it was the same as if we had always been together.
