Troy Donockley;=)




Hey,

I forgot one photo from Sauna backstage and it´s of our wonderful bag pipe/flute/magician guest artist that we are so exited and honoured to have with us in Nightwish for some gigs this summer. Troy have been with us in US and Europe too and every time he fills the bus and backstage with his warmth, positivism and experience. He is the greatest person and musician and for me personally, he lights up the day when he is there;=)

If you wanna see more of Troy, here is his web page; http://www.troydonockley.co.uk/

    Best wishes. Ryan.

  8. I'm really sorry but i think maybe Anette just missed my questions? If so i'm gonna copy that in here.
    Oceane: relly i can? ok then, fine by me :)
    Hellu Anette( again)and..guys!
    Ehhmm..i was interested to know how do you find getting live backvocals in the band (like Epica does for example or something...)? Or this is eaier to use written voices of yours and choirs that sound behind?
    And one more question. Have you been changed deep inside while travelling abroad for so long, watching thousand peoples love, being so popular and so on?
    Thank you,
    Inga_
    P.S. I'm sorry again if i do mistake and Anette just has not enough time to answer all the questions =) Good day to you Anette and to everyone else =)

  10. To Supersonic_Machine - I think Anette is following the list of questions, so... It may cost some time for you to get the answers of your questions from her. ;)

    Well, about the post, I should say he is such a good artist and musician... He seems to be such a nice person! =D
    Take care, Anette.
    Hugs from Brazil.

  15. You're right
    Troy is really a great musician!
    When he played "The Islander" and "last of the wild" during one of the show in Paris I thought "OMG that's soo beautifull"!!

    I hope he would do somme other songs with Nightwish for the nest album!!

    Nice evening and "bisous"

  19. Those words you said about him were so sweet, really nice of you!
    He also gives me a great impression both as a musician and as a human being. And seems extremely modest and selfless as well.
    Also, the job he does on Last of the Wilds, Islander and the Intro is unbelievable. Hope he'll be with you on stage also at the Artmania festival this summer. It would be nice to have you all together!

    Wishing you all the best again! =)

  21. You're Anette. I've seen him during the Deja Vu Tour in Pordenone and oh hell, is fantastic, really!

    His intro "Finlandia" every time taht I listen it gave me the shiver, every time the same positive emotion.

    Good Night, Miriam xxx

  24. Troy is brilliant! I was lucky enough to see him at the Paris dates, had no idea the first night that he was going to be there so it was an amazing surprise.

    Hope he will be with you and the guys in Switzerland on Friday or Helsinki in September! xxx
