about

This remarkable set of two tunes begins with a powerful solo performance on a dord ard by Phil Conyngham. The lively driving rhythm and rapidly changing and multiple tones are drawn from his experiences as a master didgeridoo player in Australia. As ‘Solas Nua’ comes to its perfect end the dord ard is joined by two more dord ards, a dord íseal, an adharc and a crotal. The tune is a remembrance and celebration for Don Wherry. Don had initially founded the Sound Symposium with his wife Kathy and was largely responsible for its growth and success as a worldwide musical event. Reconciliation had met Don in 1994 but sadly he had died before the festival of 2002.
