FIRL at Royal Albert Hall

FIRL is made up of Eos Counsell (violin, programming) and Gay-Yee Westerhoff (cello, piano/keyboards), two of the founding members of the groundbreaking classical crossover group BOND, the most successful string quartet of all time, with five million albums sold and counting.

In addition to being part of BOND, both Eos and Gay-Yee regularly contribute to soundtracks for film and TV, and often find themselves collaborating with some of the biggest artists around (Nitin Sawhney, Paul McCartney, Primal Scream and Bryan Adams, to name a few).

A brand new adventure for these two accomplished musicians, FIRL's debut album Wildwood is a collection of cinematic, nature-inspired compositions for cello, violin, piano and birdsong. Coming out this June, the record incorporates memories of the temperate rainforests of Wales (Eos’s homeland), to Japan and the deep-rooted connection with nature that we all share.
