John McSherry, founding member of the seminal Irish band Lunasa, is one of the foremost composers and performers on low whistle and uilleann pipes. John is widely regarded as a premier contemporary torch-bearer of the uilleann pipes, a venerable instrument with a storied history comparable to the blues in America, but even more mysterious and mythological in character. His new album, The Seven Suns, is inspired by his long-time fascination of the ancient megalithic monuments of Ireland and features guest musicians Niamh Dunne, Michael McGoldrick, Seán Óg Graham and Sean Warren.
