Both musicians are available for both civil and religious wedding ceremonies, as well as drinks receptions, as a duo or accompanied by one or two more musicians.

The Uilleann Pipes (Irish bagpipes) are very suitable for a wedding ceremony, especially the Entrance and Recessional.

Barry has a playlist on youtube with a selection of his finest pieces on uilleann pipes and low whistle:

Please to not hesitate to get in contact if you are thinking about a particular song to be performed on your special day. Barry’s repertoire is vast and a list of his songs would be too long to fit onto this website!

Reidun’s Duo “Amala” with Paul de Grae (guitar) is also available for bookings:

Harp & Guitar Music from Ireland & Elsewhere

Amala is a Kerry-based duo with Reidun Schlesinger on harp and Paul de Grae on guitar.

Amala plays music from several centuries, in original arrangements. The core of Amala’s repertoire is Irish: traditional Irish tunes, and music from the Irish harp repertoire; the duo also plays tunes from various continental European countries, Renaissance and early classical pieces, some jazz, and our own (rather jazz-tinged) compositions. Feel free to check out Amala’s website: http://www.amala.ie
