Luke Daniels: composer, musical director, vocals and button accordeon
Luke Daniels is one of the select band of musicians who have managed to redefine an instrument simply by the way they play it. His first album 'Tarentella' made when he was just 19 years old was nominated for BBC folk album of the year. He is known to both Jazz and Classical enthusiasts alike through his award winning work with jazz/world fusion group 'Scarp' and as a commissioned composer and soloist for the English National Opera. Also an accomplished pianist and guitarist he has worked as a songwriter with Eleanor Shanley and Ian Maidman (bass player and producer for Paul Brady). He has been the accordeonist with De Dannan, Reeltime and Riverdance at various stages of his career. But now sees 'Histories Rhyme' as the chance to pull all his musical experiences together in a new sound, ground breaking band.
