About the Band
The concept behind LinnTilla was first developed in the summer of 2004 by Murray Grainger, Steáfán Hannigan and Saskia Tomkins, all members of the former band ‘Mahogany Gaspipes’. The idea behind the new band was to explore the fusion of modern grooves with melodies and songs from the traditional world. To this end they were joined by Cecilia le Poer Power, Dave Neville and Nye Parsons.
The creative process for LinnTilla is fascinating, because each member approaches from diverse backgrounds and experiences. However, this is perhaps the band’s main strength, as the collision of styles triggers an explosion of possibilities, with the end result being an original and exciting blend of ideas. Jazz, Classical, Rock, Celtic and World influences all combine to create an emotionally moving, mentally stimulating and thought provoking new sound.
