I saw these guys many times before I left the UK. The people in the band are as great as their music and this is artistry at its highest level. Sheer bloody genius!
Yes, the Irish figured out how to soften the sound a bit they are beautiful to hear, indeed. Troy IS a wonder, and let's not forget the guitarist! I've never heard the sound of the 2 together in tandem, and I have to say i like it... a lot!
A Nightwish fan here, delving into Troy's past before we were lucky enough to have him in the band. Wow, what a performer on those pipes. I also have a sizeable portion of Iona's back catalogue on order. Awesome band. As someone else said, Troy and the guitar player seem inseparable, amazing.
I already have Castlerigg alone in my playlist but I have to add this one also! I have loved this band since I first heard them about 20 years ago. They never get old.
+charlie50201 They came to Lowell a couple years ago. Sign up on their website for notices and you will know ahead when their next US tour happens(rare! and usually brief!)
The way Bainbridge and Troy stay utterly glued to each other is nothing short of mindbending. It's like four hands, one brain. :D

One of the two or three greatest shows I ever attended was an Iona gig in Tennessee about 12 years ago.
Can't stop listening to Iona...
why is it always that the best musicians are always unknown
All I know is that the radio sucks, and stuff like this dominates my listening senses .
First class musicians - great sound
What an amazing band of people !
Wow. How good is this. Love it.

Tried to explain the difference in sound between bag pipes and ulilleann pipes to my son ,should have directed him to this maestro and wonderful band
