Dalla Duo

Neil Davey and Hilary Coleman are very well known to anyone familiar with Cornish traditional music. You can find out more about them individually here (Neil) and here (Hilary). Together though, they are probably best known for being the two original founding members of Dalla. They also both continue to play together in the hugely popular nos lowen dance band Skillywidden which grew out of Dalla. 
​
Dalla Duo offer a celebration of the very best of Cornish traditional music in all its varied glory, from wild and mesmerising dance tunes to beautifully haunting slower pieces. This includes instrumentals on bouzouki and clarinet, as well as songs in Cornish and in English. 

Available for festival spots, nos lowens, concerts, parties, ambient (feasts/dinners etc.)

‘Inventive and enchanting, their music celebrates Cornish culture in an upbeat and infectious voice’
(The Guardian)

'Rollicking sets of tunes... Some are given an almost klezmer feel by Hilary’s clarinet, some showcase Neil’s dazzling bouzouki playing.'
(fRoots)

‘Pulsing dance tunes and songs in English and Cornish, creatively arranged and tastefully performed.’
(Dirty Linen - USA)​
