Debut Tune-based CD Recording by Jarlath Henderson

The youngest ever winner of the BBC Young Folk Award, back in 2003, multi-instrumentalist and singer Jarlath Henderson has since won further acclaim in his firebrand partnership with Scottish piper and whistle player Ross Ainslie. After rapturous reviews for their debut album Partners in Crime, released in 2008, and 2013’s follow-up Air-Fix, Henderson shocked many with his 2016 vocal album release, Hearts Broken, Heads Turned, comprising bold yet sensitive arrangements of traditional songs, also featuring Henderson on guitar and cittern, together with his hand-picked accompanying line-up of Hamish Napier, Innes Watson, Duncan Lyall, and Andrea Gobbi. Renowned primarily for his extraordinary prowess on uilleann pipes and whistles, Henderson has performed and recorded in such illustrious company as The Transatlantic Sessions, Jack Bruce, Lau, Capercaillie, Paddy Keenan, Salsa Celtica, Phil Cunningham, and Michael McGoldrick.

This Project again sees Jarlath refusing to be put in a pigeon-hole; making a recording of newly composed and arranged music showcasing the uilleann pipes. This unique and challenging instrument lies close to Hendersons‘ heart, and traditional recordings lie heavily towards old material. This CD will introduce the listener to newly composed and arranged tunes written for the uilleann pipes and accompanied by a range of other instruments, highlighting the complexities of this distinctive and versatile instrument.

The project will explore the limitations of the uilleann pipes, highlight and exploit their potential, as a solo instrument as traditionally perceived, and as the center unit of a small ensemble, and as an accompanying instrument to the voice.
