Diarmaid and Donncha Moynihan are widely acknowledged as two of Ireland’s finest musicians. Diarmaid is one of Ireland’s foremost uilleann pipers and composers. Donncha is a superb accompanist on guitar and bouzouki. Together they founded Calico, an extraordinary traditional band, who were one of the most influential ensembles to come out of Ireland. Their music has been recorded by many leading lights in the world folk music scene including Lunasa, Michael McGoldrick, Kathryn Tickell, Anxo Lorenzo, Flook, Grada, Kris Drever and Cherish the Ladies.
Their long awaited new album, The Lights of Ranzanico, is a collection of beautiful original tunes fused with Irish and European melodies. It once again demonstrates their creative vision and extraordinary lyrical approach to music which has influenced many artists since they arrived on the Irish music scene. The album features thrilling collaborations with Galician gaita maestro Anxo Lorenzo, British jazz drumming legend Nic France, Brazilian trumpet player Tonynho dos Santos and accordionist Christy Leahy.
