Arundó
“Arundó” are a four piece group that play an exciting mixture of traditional and contemporary Irish and Andean music.
The name “Arundó” is actually the term for a family of bamboo-like plants, one of which produces the cane from which uilleann pipes are usually made. The name, therefore, well reflects the groups music, which is dominated by the mystical sounds of the uilleann and panpipes.
The four members of the group have crossed paths over the years in several different bands and at many a local session. The band line-up is:
John Byrne:
Kevin Byrne:
Timmy O’Callaghan:
Johnny ‘Bongos’: Uilleann Pipes, Flute, Whistles, Panpipes and Quena
Guitars and Mandolin
Accordion
Percussion
