The Golden Eagle |
Lily Neill is influenced by an enormous variety of styles, from Rock to Classical to the Eastern music traditions. From this has emerged a style of playing that is a reflection of her many influences and which continues to evolve.
“Without Words”, Lily’s debut album, is a culmination of several years of studio work and showcases a broad range of stylistic influences. Featured on “Without Words” are instruments as diverse as the Japanese Koto and Jushichigen, Electric Bass and Guitar, the Irish Bodhrán as well as others. Irish and Scottish traditional music and modern compositions are featured along with Neill’s own original music, creating a fresh interpretation of the harp. Upon its release, “Without Words” received an honourable mention as one of the Irish Echo’s top albums.
“Lily Neill speaks to us without words in this gentle and gracious recording. Once again the magic of the plucked string surrounds us and brings us to a place of special resonance and peace. There is something universal in this sound: no less than three of the tracks, for example, bring the Japanese Koto and Irish Harp together as if they were long lost cousins. A shared universal sonic gene comes through her fingers as if the music inside her is truly ancestral”. Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, November 2006
