Born in Italy to an Italian father and Scottish mother, Andrea Palandri grew up in London and Venice. Starting classical violin at four, he developed a love for traditional music in his teens and began studying the Irish fiddle styles of Pádraig O’Keeffe, Denis Murphy and Paddy Cronin. Since moving to Ireland in 2014, Andrea has performed as a solo musician at prestigious events and venues such as the Masters of Tradition Festival and the Royal Irish Academy of Music.

Is san Iodáil a saolaíodh Andrea Palandri, agus tógadh é idir Londain agus an Veinéis. Thosnaigh sé ag seimint an veidhlín nuair a bhí sé cheithre bliana d‘aos, agus thit sé i ngrá leis an gceol traidisiúnta sna déagaibh, go háirithe leis an stíl veidhlín a bhí ag Pádraig O’Keeffe, Denis Murphy agus Paddy Cronin. Ó d’aistrigh sé go hÉirinn sa bhliain 2014, tá ceol seinnte ag Andrea ag féilte agus i bhfoirgintí cáiliúla ar nós an Masters of Tradition i mBeanntraí agus in Acadamh Ríoga an Cheoil i mBaile Átha Cliath. Bíonn sé le clos go minic i gcoirmeacha ceoil i dteannta piardaí an cheoil thraidisiúnta ar nós Conor Connolly agus Pádraic Keane, sheinn sé ar chamchuairt náisiúnta ITMA sa bhliain 2023 agus tá clár teilifíse de chuid sraith ITMA Taoscadh ón Tobar curtha i láthair aige ar TG4.

An Veidhlín Muimhneach (‘The Munster Fiddle’) is Andrea Palandri’s debut solo fiddle album. Inspired by the Sliabh Luachra tradition, the album pays tribute to three key figures in that tradition, Pádraig O’Keeffe, Denis Murphy and Paddy Cronin, whose styles have deeply influenced Andrea’s playing.

The repertoire includes tunes linked to these players, as well as pieces recorded or collected by Irish musicians from Munster during the 19th and 20th centuries.

The album features cover art by Liam O’Neill, ‘O’Keeffe ag siúlóid’, and accompaniment by Ruairí McGorman on Greek bouzouki.
