About Me
Troy Donockley has built up a formidable reputation as both a Composer/Arranger and Musician/Performer and as a leading virtuoso of the Uilleann Pipes. His Orchestral workhas been performed in venues such as The Royal Festival Hall and Glasgow Concert Hall. Born in Cumbria into a musical family, his musical journey has taken many diverse cultural turns, all within a focused plan to compose music of uncompromised integrity and passion. All join to create something very individual and very real... His first album "The Unseen Stream" released in 1998, was critically acclaimed globally for its unique fusion of Traditional/Classical forms. His latest album "The Pursuit of Illusion" (2003) continues to push the boundaries with a highly individual blend of the English Classical and Irish Folk traditions. Music from both albums has been used in Film/TV all over the world inc BBC1 , BBC2, C4, Discovery and CNN. Troy has performed and is known all over the place - Europe, Middle/Far East, Australia, Japan, USA and has recorded with various other artists such as Maddy Prior (he has co-produced her last four albums), Maire Brennan (Clannad), Lesley Garrett. Barbara Dickson, Roy Harper, Alan Stivell, Del Amitri, Midge Ure (at the Edinburgh Live8 2005), Mostly Autumn and many more...
My Interests

News ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- May 2007 Forthcoming Live Performances Troy has a few one-off live performances in the coming months. Firstly with Iona in the amazing atmospheric venue, 'Carnglaze Caverns', a cave in deepest Cornwall. Then two performances in three days; firstly at the 'Spanfest', the Steeleye Span Festival at Kentwell Park, Suffolk, on Friday 27th July. Here he wil be performing with Maddy Prior and Friends. Then on Sunday 29th he appears with Barbara Dickson at a festival in Hampton. See Barbara Dickson's website for more details. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- The New Album and other Projects Troy writes: 'Work continues on my new solo album although it is difficult to find the time with other projects kicking my door down! The most exciting of which is a "Duo" album with Barbara Dickson. This is something we are both looking forward to immensely. It will be very much an extension of the more atmospheric side of the last album "Full Circle". But not. Anyway, it will be different....' A band designed for "live" work ( festivals, folk clubs etc.) is being put together with my splendid pal Maart Allcock with a view to lots of activity next year. It will be an acoustic band and we will be playing in the "Traditional Realm" with the provisional line up being - Maart on all strings, a wonderful Harp player from Wales called Gwenan Gibbard, a brilliant box player from Scotland called Angus Lyon and myself on the usuals. It will be fab to return to my trad roots... I am working with the Hi-Fi company BOSE again in June on another version of the Holst piece "Jupiter" ( which I arranged on the Maddy Prior album Lionhearts ). This will take place in Swansea and will feature the Welsh Male voice Choir. I have also been asked to become a member of an 'album-based project' called "Mandalaband III" and I am very pleased to accept. Initially, this project was formed in 1975 - the brainchild of the producer, engineer, and now Egyptologist (!) David Rohl and ended up in 1978 as a showcase for members of 10cc, Barclay James harvest, Justin hayward and my old pal Maddy Prior. This will be its third incarnation and we will work towards a release next year...... ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- 5th January 2007 Abbey Road session for Nightwish Troy recently recorded a session at Abbey Road for the forthcoming new album by the brilliant Finnish band 'Nightwish'.
