An Dha means 'The Two' in Gaelic. Two musicians, two cultures, where the land and the sky meet, the Violin and the Cello, separate yet merging into one sound.
The delicacy of classical perfection, fire from the Scottish Tradition and the spirit of jazz and the life of the City. Two musicians on a journey exploring life and music, together.
An Dha is the Folk music alter ego of the Chapel Hill Duo a violin and cello duo formed in 2011 at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. After attending the Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas folk music course on the Isle of Skye in 2013 they decided to explore the world of folk music in more depth and started to compose and play their own tunes. In 2016 the Duo won the London Fiddle Convention Competition, were awarded a position in the New Roots Showcase and were finalists in the Bath Folk Festival New Shoots Competition.
Skylines is their debut album of original compositions inspired by the conflicting worlds of urban life and the freedom of artists such as Alasdair Fraser, Natalie Haas, Adam Sutherland, Patsy Reid, Lau, Barrule and many more. In September 2016 'The Tender Trout and the Lonely Daffodil' from Skylines was selected as the BBC Radio 3, World on 3 BBC Introducing Track of the Month.
