Donal Lunny Donal Lunny has been at the cutting edge of the evolution of Irish music for almost thirty years and is generally regarded as having been central to it's renaissance. Donal has composed music for theatre as well as for TV and film. But recently he has become more involved with contemporary music and is a much sought-after producer. Common Ground was produced by Donal.

He also designed the first custom-built bouzouki - the prototype of what is now known as the "Irish bouzouki". From the late 1960's, when he formed Emmet Spiceland, the first group to break into the pop charts with Irish music, through the seventies and eighties as a member of the influential band Planxty, the high-energy Bothy Band, and the trad-rock band Moving Hearts, Donal has revolutionised attitudes to traditional music.
