Tuvan Throat Singers return to Future Studios!

It must be heard to be believed — the music, produced by resonating low sounds in the throat, creates a middle note and a haunting, flute-like harmonic.

Singing the ancient folk songs in the Tuvan language while playing beautiful, hand made, traditional instruments.

Master uilleann piper Paddy Keenan, founding member of The Bothy Band accompanied by guitarist John Walsh.

Generally acknowledged as the most accomplished uilleann piper performing today, Paddy Keenan is certainly one of the most brilliant musicians of his generation. He can rightfully claim his place alongside such open-style legends as pipers John Cash and Johnny Doran. Paddy was a founding member of The Bothy Band, which forever changed the face of Irish traditional music. Paddy's virtuosity on the pipes combined with the ferocity of his playing made him, in the opinion of many, its driving force. Bothy Band-mate Donal Lunny once described Paddy as "the Jimi Hendrix of the pipes"; more recently, due to his genius for improvisation and counter-melody, he has been compared to jazz great John Coltrane.

"Paddy Keenan is the piper's piper, the best of the best."-Zina Lee, Celtic Café, 2001
