He is renowned primarily for his extraordinary prowess on uilleann pipes and whistles, while fast emerging as an equally gifted vocalist.

Hailing from Derrytresk in County Tyrone, Niall Hanna is a traditional singer/guitarist and is the current recipient of the BBC Northern Ireland/Arts Council of Northern Ireland Young Musicians' Platform Award. Niall comes from a very musical family and at an early age he began learning traditional songs from the singing of his late grandfather Geordie Hanna.
