Buille

One of Celtic music's great concertina players, Niall Vallely (NOMOS, Karan Casey Band) has established himself as one of the most original and distinctive voices in Irish music. In Buí­lle ((pronounced bwee-luh, meaning "beat" in Irish), Niall is accompanied by his brother Caoimhin (ex-North Cregg, Karan Casey Band) on piano, and Paul Meehan (Lúnasa) on bouzouki. Between them they create a contemporary, bright and swinging sound, with almost all the tune sets written by Niall. Their debut album “Buille” was released in the USA on Compass Records in 2005 to rave reviews and was described in the Irish Times: "Buille is as fresh a breath that's blown through traditional (and roots) circles in a long, long time." The group went on to tour extensively across Ireland, the UK, Europe, USA and Canada and along the way performed at such prestigious festivals as Celtic Connections in Glasgow, St. Chartier Festival in Central France, Festival de Cornouaille in Quimper, Brittany, Beo Festival at the National Concert Hall, Dublin, and the Winnipeg Folk Festival in Canada. Buille are back now with a new project and album entitled “Buille 2”. The Irish Times says of the new album:  "...another spine-tingling collection that bursts with originality...A thoroughly challenging collection that will stimulate brainwaves and pelvic girdles in equal measure."

Their galloping, rootsy melodies bubble with jazz, blues and classical colors." -- Boston Globe
