Ross Ainslie and Jarlath Henderson

Ross Ainslie and Jarlath Henderson

Ross and Jarlath first started playing together back in 2003 at the William Kennedy Piping Festival, and have since joined forces to create a pipe sound that pushes the boundaries of what both instruments can achieve together. January 2008 saw the release of their much anticipated debut album 'Partners in Crime', (4 star review in MOJO) which features many new compositions along with traditional tunes as never heard before. Jarlath is a three time All-Ireland Champion' Uilleann Piper and the first Irish musician to win the prestigious BBC 'Young Folk Musician Of The Year' in 2003, a major national award. Ross hails from Perth and is a former member of the Grade 1 Vale of Atholl pipe band. He has since toured with his tutor the late Gordon Duncan and was involved in Ivan Drever's band 'Clueless' before recently playing with Flook!, Dougie Maclean & Salsa Celtica. "Packs more punch than a boxing-glove factory..." (Irish Music Magazine) "It's the unison playing that really lifts your heart and makes you want to dance on the tables. A thriller." Double ticket discount of £2 with tonight's main concert ticket.
