Brian Cunningham of the Irish Airs

Immigrating to the United States in 1977, he has performed for numerous television and stage productions, including concerts at Indianapolis' Hilbert Circle Theatre, DeHaan Fine Arts Center, and American Cabaret Theatre. He has performed with Pat O'Brien and Dennis Day, and co-wrote and directed the musical revue I Am Of Ireland. He recently toured Ireland with the Indianapolis Children's Choir and performed at the National Concert Hall of Dublin.

Leslie Krom Selden of the Irish Airs

Leslie Krom Selden (fiddle) gained wide recognition at the Galax, Virginia Old Fiddlers' Gathering, where her contest piece was chosen for their Annual Album. Classically-trained, her improvisational style draws from musical traditions including Irish, bluegrass, Appalachian, folk, and swing. Winning praise from audiences and critics alike, she has been a popular presenter with Young Audiences of Indiana, bringing Indiana history to life through folk music. Other projects include Myths for a New Millenium and Hoosier Salon's CD-Rom Landscape Painting In Indiana, distributed to schools throughout the state.

T. H. Gillespie of the Irish Airs

T. H. Gillespie (keyboards, orchestrations) began playing classical piano at an early age and soon developed an interest in experimenting with various genres, including rock during jr. high and high school, and contemporary gospel and jazz fusion during college. Recently, he has been pursuing the neo-Celtic phenomenon. Gillespie's composing and recording projects include, Where Is Your God? (a gospel-fusion album), A Celtic Christmas, St. Patrick Was A Cajun, and Myths For A New Millennium (a trilogy of three Celtic suites for ballet, premiered by Indianapolis' Dance Kaleidoscope). More recently, Gillespie has written neo-Celtic choral arrangements for the Indianapolis Children's Choir (published by Hal Leonard). Gillespie runs his studio at his home in Indianapolis, where much of the Irish Airs' recent CD was recorded and mixed. Visit www.gillespiestudio.com.
