The House Devils
"...you're an angel in the street but a devil in the house!" The House Devils' new album, Adieu to Old Ireland is out now on the ARC Music label EUCD2232. It's available worldwide on itunes and Amazon and is distributed in the UK by Proper Music Distribution.
The House Devils are:
Matt Fahey: vocals, guitar, cittern.
Matt's interest in Irish music was fired by his Dublin-born father and his family in Ireland. Over the past forty years Matt has developed a huge repertoire of traditional songs into which he breathes new life with his rich, warm voice. In Britain and Ireland he is justly renowned as one of the most intuitive and sensitive backers of traditional tunes on guitar and he has peformed with the cream of traditional musicians from Manchester and Ireland.
Andrew Dinan: fiddle.
Andrew won the All-Ireland Under-18 Fiddle Championship in 1988 and the All-Ireland Senior Fiddle Championship in 1994 and is widely acknowledged as on of the best fiddlers in the world. He has toured extensively in Europe and plays at major folk festivals such as Cambridge and Celtic Connections as well as the famous Glastonbury festival. Currently he is playing fiddle with Ade Edmonson's band The Bad Shepherds.
Mat Walklate: flute, harmonica, vocals, whistle, uilleann pipes.
There's enough about me on this site already!
Anthony Haller: double bass.
Anthony is probably the busiest double bass player in Manchester as he performs with a bewildering number of bands in all musical styles. His rock-solid playing provides the perfect foundation for any type of song or tune.
