Caroline Keane & Tom Delaney

Tom Delany is a highly regarded uilleann piper, bouzouki player, and singer from Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland. Born in France to an Irish father, he was immersed in Irish traditional music from an early age. 

He has released his solo debut album The Lark’s Call in February 2022, which has been praised for its blend of fluent piping, expressive whistle playing, and imaginative arrangements. He is also one half of the duo Caroline & Tom (with concertina player Caroline Keane), and a member of the band FourWinds. Tom regularly tours internationally and is noted for the emotional depth of his slow airs, as well as the vitality he brings to jigs, reels, hornpipes and other dance tunes.

Here are some videos in which you can see Tom playing his bouzouki.
