Our most played track over the Christmas period on our Soundcloud file comes from The Freewheeler. 

This is a new group that features Australian musicians Dougal Adams, Ado Barker and Ben Stephenson. With influences that include Matt Molloy, Mary Bergin, Seamus Tansey, Noel Hill, Tony Linnane, Tommy Peoples and Frankie Gavin, they have just released their self-titled debut which is now available to purchase and download.

They say their music is “forged from a deep and longstanding musical bond” which allows them to deliver a recording that is ‘set loose, uplifting and rolling with a freedom that speaks of a rare connection.”

“The project grew from a common quest for the almost magical alchemy that can occur when players hear and feel the music in the same way; what results is a sympathy of rhythm and inflection that resists explanation, an understanding best felt and captured in the moment.”
