Auri - Troy Donockley (2021)

Troy Donockley is an English composer and multi-instrumentalist (particularly the Uilleann pipes) who has played with all kinds of artists, but is probably most known for his work in symphonic metal band Nightwish. Auri, a band he formed with Nightwish founder Tuomas Holopainen and his wife Finnish singer Johanna Kurkela just released their second album 'II - Those We Don't Speak Of' and we spoke with Troy about the album, the songwriting approach, singing on a couple of songs, Light and Flood, a sense of gratitude, how things are in Nightwish, and a lot more! I've been lucky enough to speak with Troy on several occasions and as always his charm, kindness and eloquence is an absolute pleasure! By: Robin HignellSupport the showThank you for listening!
