Derek Byrne - The who, what and why?
I toured the world with Riverdance as a singer and percussionist for 6 years. You might know me from the Irish Band "Eidir". I wrote all the original music on "Erin Calling". I am now a solo solo artist. The time has come for my music to grow. All the old Celtic folk songs are still there, just given a new energy. Eidir was well known for Irish music with a world beat. I play bodhran, cajon, bones, spoons, shekere, shakers, riq and the klong yao. The beats are looped live and acoustic with no drum machines, then layered with five string banjo and vocal harmonies to create a new tribal texture. Come see a show, I guarantee you'll find something new.

Back in the studio again

 I'm really happy to be working on a new CD. This one is a lot of fun as I'm playing all the instruments! Hopefully it will be done in time for Irish Fest.
