Bewitched by the sound of the flute during childhood, he studied classical concert flute. When he was sixteen something happened: he saw a live show by The Chieftains, and that changed his musical point of view. During the years Simone deepens the study of wooden flute and the specific techiques and style of Irish music. In recent times he also added the Uilleann Pipes to his skillset becoming a wide range musician.
Simone, Beatrice, and Simone, despite their young age, are already accomplished musicians in diverse musical projects that range from classical music to folk, with rambles into contemporary genres. With Duilleoga, they have decided to combine their experiences and artistic sensibilities to create a unique project: a trio that blends tradition and modernity into a fresh and captivating offering.
The Cracking Reeds blends traditional Irish music with rock and pop influences. Their repertoire will bring you on a journey along the Emerald Isle and will make you dance to wild rhythms and sing timeless songs at the top of your lungs.
