WILLOS'

Twenty years of career behind them since the band was formed in 2001 in Siena. After all these years on stage and three previous albums, they continue to enchant their audience with their music, which is Irish not only in name.

Their name Willos'. Originally their name was Will o' the Wisp, simplified a few years ago by a French journalist into Willos'.
They started with a repertoire of traditional Irish and Scottish music, a music popular in many parts of Italy. They soon began to adapt traditional tunes and also to compose songs.
After the long period of the pandemic, they returned to the forefront with a new eleven-track album From Now On, which focuses on Irish music. The album features The Flying Bull's, The Maids of Mount Cisco, The Bucks of Oranmore, P. Stands for Paddy, and Road to Rome, an original song based on the well-known tune Pastures of Plenty, which can be found on the Solas album Reunion. 
And on this album they invited Italian piper Martino Vacca, himself a member of the band FullSet.
Throughout this excellent album, the members of Willos' demonstrate their musical talent, which includes their arrangement skills. The dances are sparkling, the sounds sometimes joyful, sometimes more melancholic, even meditative.
Massimo and Martino's uilleann pipes and Stephanie's fiddle lead the dance, while Luca's guitar and Giulio's bodhrán hammer out the tempo, with Lorenzo's flute introducing a soothing energy. Not forgetting Fiona's superb voice on four tracks.
A band that has not finished enchanting us.
