Gaillimh, Ireland (1991 – Still Active)

‘Tom Fahy’ (pseudonym: Quinn McCarthy) is an assemblage of musicians headed by multi-instrumentalist, composer, and author Tom Fahy. Core members include Jiang Dan, Rachael Eisley, Zhang Li, Liu Kaige and Emer Mulholland, while other players, including Alvaro Macaya, Thomas Byrne, Vicente Labarca, and Marco Falabella, are drafted for the requirements of particular pieces.

Aestrid Byrne (11 August 1968 - 24 December 1998) was a composer, pianist and originating member of the group from Galway, Ireland, as well as the lifelong partner of musician Tom Fahy.

Jiang Dan (born Jiang Daoming), an only child, was born in Honolulu on 12 June 1971. A master stone-mason, Dan did not assume the role of chief percussionist with Tom Fahy until 1999. However, with his mother, a classically-trained pianist, Dan studied counterpoint, music theory and harmony throughout his childhood. The self-described avant-garde drummer utilizes custom-modified Pearl drum kits.

Rachael Eisley, (b. 17 July 1971), is the only child of Lionel William and Vera (nee Spence-McDougall) Eisley. She was born in St. John’s, Newfoundland, but spent her early years in Montreal, Quebec, where her father was a financier. When Eisley was four years old, her father died of a heart attack while driving in a car with his wife and daughter. After his death, her mother worked as a school teacher. In 1986, when her mother remarried, the family returned to their native St. John’s.

    More than 80 albums? Wow. A little bit of editing might not be amiss. Maybe do a compilation of the best tracks to get a feel. Just an opinion.
