banna de dhá features the duo of Tom Morley on fiddle and Hazel Ketchum on guitar and vocals. The Irish phrase translates simply as “band of two,” but the musical whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Taking their inspiration from great Irish Traditional music duos (such as Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill), banna de dhá uses the vast repertoire of Irish instrumental and vocal music as their starting point, adding music from other folk traditions such as American Old Time and French-Canadian, while keeping it all fresh and unique with unexpected improvisational turns. The dynamic musical connection and creativity between the two musicians in banna de dhá assure audiences that they’ll take a unique trip through a Celtic landscape together, one that will never be repeated exactly the same way twice.
