Celtic-folk Music
In 1987 he formed Celtic Rock band 'You Slosh, recording Glorious Racket with them in 1989. In the following year he recorded as a session musician with Celtic-folk band Iona. This was at the very beginning of the boom in Celtic-folk bands, and both ventures were very successful. Donockley recorded one more album with You Slosh in 1991 plus nine more albums with Iona. He became an official member of the group in 1995 and left the band in 2009. Máire Brennan, a member of the best-known Celtic-folk group, Clannad, called on Donockley to be a session musician on Two Horizons. Kathryn Tickell plays the Northumbrian smallpipes: Donockley recorded "our Kate" on Debateable Lands with her in 1999, contrasting two types of pipes.
Together with Adrian Edmondson, Donockley founded the band The Bad Shepherds in 2008, performing punk and new wave classics on folk instruments. They have a CD out in 2009 on Monsoon Music. A second album followed in 2010 By Hook or By Crook. http://www.thebadshepherds.com/merch.html

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Did the kiss of Mother Mary
Put that music in her face?
Yet she goes with footstep wary,
Full of earth’s old timid grace.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
