Troy is the sixth member of the band, and plays all sorts of non-metal instruments..besides the Uilleann pipes he's playing here (not electric), he also plays flutes and whistles, bouzouki, and guitar (acoustic and electric), and he sings, too. In an interview he was asked if there was anything he couldn't play as well as he'd like and his answer was, "ice hockey." As you move beyond the Wacken performance you'll see/hear a lot more of him. A good Troy song is My Walden, live at Tampere...he plays pipes and low whistle on that one, and sings a bit, as well. Another good one is Alpenglow, live at Wembley, where he and Emppu play a unison guitar/whistle solo. Another suggestion for more of him: the acoustic version of How's the Heart is just him, Floor and an acoustic guitar and it's amazing. Oh, and that was his voice you heard at the end of Perfume of the Timeless. In fact, if you go back and listen again to the second movement of that (after the lizard jumps into the water and the text scroll begins), you'll hear his pipes right there with all the other instruments.

Floor looks like she's ready to go into the battle because she's a Valkyrie. That's kinda their thing.

It's basically a standard football chant, with "Nightwish" replacing the name of a team.

Troy is playing the uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes), one of the many instruments that he plays.

Troy is playing uilleann pipes ("Irish bagpipes"). He plays ... many instruments, but these are his specialty. They are absurdly difficult to play. When you get as far as "The Greatest Show on Earth" - my personal favourite Nightwish song - they feature heavily.

More Troy? Check: My Walden in Tampere 2015.

This is indeed the best version Actually Sept 30th 2018 not 2019. Tuomas says the South American fans are the most enthusiastic, and you can see why. Here's what Marco said about touring South America: "Floor handled it the best. When the fans were wreaking havoc at the hotel lobby, she just sternly said: " Hey, people, it doesn't work like this - please get in line, and everybody will get their photo and autograph." I'll be damned the disorderly fans actually obeyed her. That's a huge accomplishment in South America" Floors costume here is a custom-made one-off by Royal Black Couture in Austria. This is in fact, the best of the recorded concerts, followed by Wembley 2015. Uou should do more of this concert. As a drummer - Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from this concert. Some fact about Triy, who is pkaying Uilleann Oipes here: Troy plays: Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, pump organ, bouzouki, cittern, bodhrán, mandola, harmonium, aerophone On the pipes(please learn the setlist): "You have to be slightly insane to play them. They're not easy." Tuomas told me he'd been working on "The Eyes of Sharbat Gula" for a while without really hitting the mark. As I was listening to an early demo I thouht it sounded so intriguingly hypnotic that it really didn't need explanatory lyrics. When I mentioned this to Tuomas he said it had never occurred to him to think it like that. The song became an instrumental although there are some ethereal human voices in the background. TONI: Troy, the other new member, didn't have to jump in as dramatically [as Floor], but he has become an irreplaceable part of this group, too. If there's tension in the air for some reason, Troy casts a spell and magically dispels the bad vibes. EWO: Troy radiates the kind of cheerfulness that we sulky northerners can only dream of, but I guess some of his positive attitude has rubbed off on us, too. TUOMAS on touring with Troy: We start preparing about 30 minutes before the show [New York Hammerstein 2915], each of us in his or her own way. Floor changes on her stage clothes and warms up her voice in her dressing room, while we`re warming our fingers in ours. Back in the day, I used to get scared stiff before the show - it was just nauseating, pure horror. It all changed when Troy did some kind of a hypnotic trick to me in Los Angeles in 2012. I really don't know what happened during those twenty minutes, but afterwards, I haven't really panicked before going on slage.

The guy playing the Uilian pipes is Troy Donockley, if you want to see more of him I would suggest The Islander, Elàn, Elevenjig/Elvenpath, Harvest and The Greatest Show on Earth. He became a full-time member at the same time as Floor

Troy Donockley is a one off legend. What he gives to Nightwish and Auri cannot be underestimated.

Multi instrumentalist Troy Donockley(from the UK) is playing the Uilleann (ill-en or ill-yen) pipes, the Irish version of bagpipes that uses a bellows squeezed by the elbow to inflate the bag. Uilleann is the Gaelic word for 'elbow'. Troy's is the voice you heard at the end of "Perfume of the Timeless". He is singing 3rd harmony here. They have played this since Marko left, with Troy taking over most of his vocals lines. He started playing with NW in 2007, made permanent in 2013 along with Floor. He also plays whistles, bouzouki, guitar with and without EBOW. This is probably the most fun version of this song, with that S. American crowd and Floor dancing all over the stage. She wasn't 100% here either, she had been sick with the flu a show or 2 before this. Song is Anette era, from the Imaginerum album, though this tour( Decades tour) played a lot of older Tarja era songs. "My Walden" , "While Your Lips are Still Red" and "7 Days to the Wolves" , all from Wembley 2015, for more of Troy's instruments.

Floor's outfit is a riff on the Henry the 8th armor, with the black and the gold highlights. The bagpiper (the Uilleann pipes) is Troy Donocley, a permanent member of the band since 2013. He is a very talented multi-instrumentalist and a man with a very soothing singing voice.

Harvest, from the virtual concert features Troy as lead vocalist with Floor on backing vocals. It also includes some brilliant Celtic 'rock' music featuring Troy.

With guns like that, who needs a sword?

Those are Uillean pipes (Irish "elbow pipes") so-called because of the bellows under Troy's right arm. Troy - what a musician - sings, plays guitar, Uillean pipes, Low whistles, Bodhran, Bouzouki and probably more... Troy Donockley - English composer and multi-instrumentalist; played with Nightwish since 2007, became full member at the same time as Floor. Wikipedia has a decent discog of this marvelous musician if you've a mind...

At almost 6-6 on stage floors moves like a ballerina all over the place. What a performance band. Thats the Army. Thats a song of inspiration from the Soccer team.

When we seen them at Gelsenkirchen in Germany 12 June 2023 she was 6months pregnant and the others cleared the front of stage to let Floor dance. The setting there was magical, an open air amphitheatre on the bank of a canal with 7000 fans it was quite intimate and a wonderful experience, I put a short clip of I want my tears back on my youtube channel but I was too busy moving to the music to hold my phone steady for long!

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh come oooooooooonnnnnnnnnn. The connection between the band and the crowd is incredible. I love this song. Always make me so happy. Nice to see you again bro and great choice.

Troy is as oficial member and the folk element he brings to the composition is amazing! Nightwish is my favorite band in the world since 2004, and they never disapoint! Check Harvest, a song with Troy doing the lead vocals

Weirdly, bagpipes (and fiddles) are so good in metal! A German folk metal band called Feuerschwanz does great tunes. They recently released a cover of Valhalla Calling that is amazing 🤩

Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina!!!! PS: This show is only second to Wacken 2013, it's a fantastic gig, you'll find you in more entries of Gabriel's list.

remember that Floor is over six feet tall, wearing high heels, and weighs in around 175 pounds......Emppu stayed out of her way while she was dancing around the stage, as he's only 5-2.....now, do "the Greatest Show on Earth" from the Tampere, 2015 show; it highlights Troy on 2 instruments, and singing, and fully exhibits Tuomas Holopainen's genius composing skills (he's not just a "songwriter").....hello from the Nightwish Army, South Carolina, USA.......

It's Troy singing and playing the pipes. He was also singing in the ending of the last NW song you reacted: Perfume Of The Timeless

You asking about Troy... He participated on the imaginaerum album, on tour and in the movie... joined the band with Floor. Since Marco dropped put, he is now the male vocal. Troy is a great singer and a wonderful wide array of instruments

From 2013 Wacken 2013 " Last of the Wilds" is one of the best songs that feature Troy on his Uilleann pipes

This is FIRE! Floor totaly happy and relaxed , dancing around and grabs the crowd by the ba.... ;-) and then Marco ! Troy plays Illean (Irish) pipes. Greetings from nwAse Sweden ... This was a great morning

Check out Last Of The Wilds from Wacken for more Troy , an Instrumental.

Want to hear more of Troy? (pipes, whistles, guitar, bazouki, vocals) - then check out "The Islander" and "The Greatest Show on Earth" from Tampere, or "Last of the Wilds" from Wembley. Or anything else, in fact ... they haven't done a bad one! All the best from the UK.

Troy, the Brit in the band. he plays many traditional instrument along with guitar and vocals. If you want to hear him play some low whistles maybe check out this one. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrhgktKhyJuddYU.html - 🎼 NIGHTWISH 🎶 Sacrament Of Wilderness 🎶 Live in Buenos Aires 2018 🔥 4K REMASTERED🔥 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9eWo8aqqJrMeH0.html - 🎼 NIGHTWISH 🎶 Élan 🎶 Live in Buenos Aires 2018 🔥 4K REMASTERED🔥 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7ZpidqUqs2Xlmg.html - 🎼 Nightwish 🎶 My Walden 🎶 Live at Wembley 2015 🔥 Remastered 🔥 Or maybe a little bit more of the pipes? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7hzbKp31JfZZ6s.html - Nightwish - Elvenjig / Elvenpath (Decades Live in Buenos Aires)

If you want a great introduction to Troy, I highly recommend you react to "My Walden" from their Wembley 2015 concert. It is a showcase for Troy as he introduces the song, sings the opening verses in Welsh, and plays the low whistle and his Irish Uilleann pipes

That's Troy. He was a set player for the Imaginaerum tour and joined the band the same time as Floor. During the Wacken time period you are more used to he sat out most of the older songs because they were not written with most of his main instruments in mind (Uilleann pipes, whistles, Irish bouzouki). He plays on all the newer stuff and has taken over more singing as well since Marco's departure. Maybe check out Elvenjig/Elvenpath for more. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdOZiKp_0Muum3U.html

Troy is an interviewers nightmare. They can't tell if he's joking or not, so he comes up with delightful stories that are almost certainly untrue. They used him as a session musician at first, but he and Tuomas became great friends. He, Tuomas, and Thomas's wife Johanna are in the side band Auri.

yeah Troy is a deicated professional but only appears when needed and yes Floor fit in from the begining and the one big takeaway you'll notice is they all enjoy what they're doing and each other. If you want to see Troy go at it on the bouzouki (basicly a long neck mandolin) you might try "Seven Days to the Wolves at Wembley" LOL, enjoy your journey.

Troy (UK) is a steady bandmember for over a decade. He plays Uillean pipes (Irish bagpipes, not electric) whistle, wooden flutes, Bouzouki, guitar and sings too. Thanks sir!

Fang I wish I was there, such an enthusiastic audience!

That is generally found somewhere in Tuomas's stuff, but there is a huge feature a of Troy on the combo Elvenjig/Elvenpath. I think Elvenjig may be his and they thought it sounded cool. There are also some acoustics with him and Floor on Planet Rock of Nemo and How's The Heart. Some others, while I don't think they've done lives of it, Edenbridge has On The Other Side w Lanvall playing the hammered dulcimer and I think someone's playing a mandolin. Eluveitie Call of the Mountains has about everything, except growls, though they have a guy that can and does on some, Amorphis Amongst Stars ftg Anneke Van Geirsbergen has the old school flute sound on their keyboard. It seems like many of the bands in that area work a little jig in once in a while. :)

I'm so glad you did this version the energy is insane, great that you saw Troy with his Uilleann pipes, he's the UKs little bit of Nightwish. Great reaction you may like my Walden the one from Wembley as its in the UK and Troy introduces the song something he waited years for too that's another celtic song with the pipes. See you for the next one🇬🇧

Floor's first NW show was at Seattle Oct 1st 2012 and the Wacken 2013 was 10 months and 2 days later in August 3rd. So she wasn't as fresh as you thought. She became a permanent member around September 2013 with Troy. btw, her first NW song live was Storytime.

Quite a few of Nightwish's songs have this distinctive Celtic influence. I see you have already been informed about the bagpipes and Troy Donockley and gotten some really good recommendations. My favorite is The Islander. It features Marko on vocals and some truly beautiful musical backup by Troy.

Those pipes are standard acoustic ones, with a small mic attached to the chanter. Troy caps off the drone pipes in the band, because the accompaniment comes from elsewhere. Troy Donockley joined the band at the same time as Floor. Not every song needs them, but you will see him playing many other instruments. One of his tours de force is when he plays his PRS guitar with an E-bow. It is incredibly hard to make that sound good, and he seems to do it effortlessly. Try The Greatest Show on Earth kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9h9qtuWl9_FZXk.html and The Islander kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mc98idtmlq--moE.html These are from two different concerts, Wembley and their home concert at Tampere in Finland.

great reaction!!!!

Watch The Greatest Show On Earth from the Tampere show to see more of Troys playing.

Great Job again, I loved it, Thank You. As your Nightwish Journey continues, you will see just what an Amazing and Diverse Band Nightwish really are, each and every member of this is Band, is just super talented, and at the top of their professions in everything that they do, and Tuomas, the Keyboard Player, Band Leader, and Main Composer, is a Genius, He has been called by Many People of Note, other composers, Orchestra conductors, Recording and Editing Genius PIP Williams, from the London Royal Philharmonic orchestra (The Metal Mozart of Music), Plus the amount of other music that he has written For None Nightwish use, But for other projects, that some of the other Band members are involved IE, Tuomas and His Wife Joanna, who is a singer, and Troy, have a project band of their own Called AURI, they have released 3 CD's, which mainly focus on Celtic type music they are great, Thank You, Love and Peace.

That's Troy on the pipes. You saw him briefly on your Dead Boy's Poem reaction (but not playing pipes) and his is the voice in the coda on 'Perfume of the Timeless'. He plays almost everything including frequently playing an electric guitar with an E-bow on several songs. He's played with them for a long time, but only officially became a band member on the 'Endless Form Most Beautiful' album. He's a high-value utility infielder. I'm sure you'll get numerous recommendations for videos featuring him. Thanks for continuing the journey.

nice.. and I think everytime I see this show.. dammit.. they were sick at this point (you can hear it when she speaks. Wearing this "hot" suit, got medicine to pressure the feaver and drink a little wine from Tuomas and then.. the energy from the audience and the adrenalin.. bam.. GREAT SHOW) Glad you liked It, thank you

Troy joined Nightwish at the same time as Floor! He’s an English lad from the north of England! Plays almost everything and sings! At this moment in time he does all the male vocals. Try ‘My Walden’ Troy starts the song singing in the Welsh language. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Troy Donockley is a British multi instrumentalist who first worked with Nightwish in approximately 2008 but became a full time member at the same time as Floor in 2013. You heard him sing at the end of Perfume of the Timeless plus various instruments. He played this song at Wacken plus Nemo and an instrumental piece Last of the Wilds. He plays various string and wind instruments including the Uilleann(elbow) pipes seen here. Not electric, pumps bellows under right elbow and squeezes bag under left. Probably lead for mic visible.

Troy Donockley from UK is a multi instumentalist and singer, full member at the same time as Floor . 2013.

The whole Buenos Aires concert is such a happy event. With many songs from the past.

Try 'The last of the wilds' from the Wacken concert. It's an instrumental song that they plaied in the middle of the concert meanwhile Floor is changing costumes. The pipes are the main thing in this song but he also plays the tin whistle in a part of the song.

Troy Donockley was accepted as permanent member of the band at the same time as Floor, before the legendary Wacken 2013 gig. However, the permanent status of both Floor and Troy was officially announced only later the same year for marketing purposes. You might miss Troy if you only watch live videos of songs that are older than around year 2010 because Troy seems to go with the style that he will exit the stage if the song doesn't have any parts for him.

👍👍An awesome performance. Love the bagpipes. Great reaction. 🖖❤

Everyone took the Troy-bait, and for good reason - Troy is dang good at everything he touches. BUT, as a drummer (you), can we talk a second about the little skiffle-beat that Kai does during the first half of the pipe-solo? Many, many, many years ago, I sat in on some incredible Irish acoustic jams in Portland, Oregon. At the time, we (Portland) had the absolute pleasure to have a couple incredible Northern Irish musicians move into town to escape the constant battle and bombing that was daily life in Belfast, et al. Kevin Burke and Michael O'Domhnaill (fiddle and guitar/vocals) were two members of the incredible Bothy Band. Portland had a lot of fiddle and guitar players at the time, and a few pipers, but we initially lacked anyone to play Irish flute or the Bodhran. Long story short, the fast little skiffle-beats that Kai plays do sound, to my ears, just like what a bodhran player would be pounding out on the skin. I got a chance to sit in with them once at an late night Irish jam session, filling in for a very, heavily-basted w/Guiness'd Michael. ... and had the "honor" to sit right between the bodhran and the piper.... I think that was so they could drown out my mistakes, to be honest. But yeah, I gained a whole new respect for a true artist on that Irish drum... and Kai did a very fair job of filling in there for a few moments. Enjoy the NW.

Troy used to play for a Band call Iona. A Celtic Prog Rock band with a very Christian message at its core. The duelling pipes and guitar Troy brought from there. The guitarist from Iona is a whole other level of player. I recommend checking them out. Seen them live many times and soon to see the guitarist Dave Bainbridge perform Iona songs with another singer (not the original band singer).

Definitely check out Last of the Wilds, lots of Troy

Thank you for going on your Nightwish journey! By the way Floor was seriously ill the day before and she still had fiever this day. I suggest to listen to How's the heart live at Planet rock . Only Troy and Floor. And surely the greatest show on earth. A lot of different instruments ...

There is a documentary you should watch called, "Nightwish: Learn the Setlist in 48 Hours" that tells the story of how Floor came to be in the band during the American leg of their tour. It is on KZfaq.

Lmao, you saw Troy reaching for butterflies in the new single, then heard him sing deep background vocals, before he sang the end of the new single. There are many videos he is in. You will see him more. 😊 This is my fav outfit Floor has had. Along with my fav version of this song. 😊😊😊

Best Version ❤

Another song with Troy, definitly watch my walden ❤

The Uilleann pipes are not electric. The air bellows is pumped by his right arm. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uilleann_pipes

Uiellian pipes - Irish bagpipes you’ll notice Scottish bagpipes are used blowing through a tube. Where is the Yulian pipes are squeezed under the arm and it’s a much milder tone than the Scottish bagpipes. The Scottish can be very in your face. Resist is more gentle that’s Troy. he is a master. He sings as well, but he does all the weird instruments

From wikipedia: "Troy Donockley (born 30 May 1964) is an English composer and multi-instrumentalist most known for his playing of Uilleann pipes. Having performed with many artists as a session player, he is most notable as a member of Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, which he has performed with since 2007 and joined as a full-time member in 2013." Who can explain the Uilleann pipes better than the best player on them in the world? From the documentary "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" (about Floor joining Nightwish) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rM51q86evLGxdYk.html

Multi-instrumentalist Troy Donocley plays Uilleann pipes (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uilleann_pipes). He is the sixth member of the band. Troy sings the outro of Perfume of the timeless. My walden is similarly folkish Nightwish song with uilleann pipes.

Ooh. The guitar song is amazing 🫶🏻

I think you would enjoy Elvenjig/Elvenpath from this same show. There you will see Troy playing multiple instruments including the Uilleann pipes and whistles.

Enjoyed your reaction! The crazy Argentinian crowd in the beginning is singing an adaptation of the local football clubs chant. Basically they are saying Nightiwsh always, Nightwish is a way of life. Some one please correct me because I am sure I am not remembering entirely correctly. This is the same concert where you watched Dead Boys Poem. Song is from the Imaginaerum album. It is a concept album about an old composer on his death bed re-visiting moments from his life. In this song he is expressing his desire to go back to his youth where he used to feel his emotions more strongly, thus he wants his tears back or to feel sadness so strongly he cries. For more Troy/Celticy songs try Last of the Wilds from Wacken (instrumental featuring Troy's Uillean pipes), Nemo from Wacken (Irish Low Whistle), Elvenjig/Elvenpath, Alpenglow, Elan, My Walden, Greatest Show on Earth (Tampere version to hear him play the Irish Low Whistle), and Harvest. One of my favorites is the acoustic version of How's the Heart from Planet Rock. Just Floor and Troy on an acoustic guitar. Also there are some fan videos of Floor and Troy doing an acoustic version of Decades in the Sun from their Human Nature tour. Very emotional song written in tribute to Nightwish's family members about being close to family even when you are not together. Best live version of the song is from Floor's 2021 solo concert in Amsterdam but no Troy in that performance. Another great way to experience Troy is in the side project he has with Tuomas and Tuomas's wife, Johanna Kurkela (popular Finnish folk/pop singer) called Auri. Very folky and atmospheric music. Very similar to the end of Perfume of the Timeless where Troy is singing. Some of my favorites are The Space Between, Desert Flower, and The Valley. On Desert Flower Troy plays an aerophone which is a breath driven digital wind instrument to create a violin like sound. Very cool. Also you will be blown away by Johanna's beautiful voice.

iin fact,troy is playing a variation of his own of a traditional finish polka XD

Listen to Planet Hell from Helfest 2022 live where Floor sings and Marco's part is incredible, the concert there you will hear how Troy sings with Floor, you will not be disappointed.

The costume of the GODDESS.......if I remember right ( If anyone thinks I am wrong-please correct me) it is of course handmade in Austria and they had to promise to make that style only once. Speaking of Troy singing check out the virtual concert........Marko had already left then so they splitted his singing parts between the GODDESS and Troy and changed the songs a little bit to adopt them to the missing of Markos voice...... Or "Hows is your heart" acoustic version where he sings the background voice..... Ah...and the chanting of the crowd.....its a very known chant in every football stadium in Argentina and everywhere around the world where their national-team plays........

So good - Everytime! 👏 We could see you enjoyed this one! Show anyone this song from Nightwish and they’ll be toe-tapping, dancing, singing and having a blast!

Thanks

Hehe, "he has other instruments there" - yes, about the only thing Troy Donnockley doesn't play is ice hockey :) He was collaborating with the band even before Floor joined, but he was proclaimed "permanent member" the same time Floor was - after the 2013 Wacken show... You should have seen him before, in Wembley 2015 he was allready on stage every song, like for example in While your lips are still red or 7 days to the wolfs or The greatest show on earth...

this is a rough translation of what people are singing at the start. The original is "ohhhhhh, Nighwish, es un sentimiento, no puedo parar, ole ole ola, cada día te quiero más". The translation is something like "Ohhhh, Nightwish, it's a feeling, I can't stop, ole ole ola, each day I love you more"

Nightwish Elvenjig and Elvenpath live in Bogata for more uilleann pipes and celtic sound. These are 2 songs they usually play back to back

Troy Donocleys band before NW, The Bad Shepherds. Check it up. Greetings from Finland.

Troy Donoclley (multi-instrumentalist, singer...) plays uilleann pipes ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uilleann_pipes )

❤

If you want to see Troy really shine, check out Last of the Wilds from Wacken 2013

You just met Troy. He can play everything except ice hockey (in his own words). He’s awesome!

🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done again And you've read the rest by now😊

Troy is the guy you ask about, multi instrumentelist, and 2nd singer in Nightwish, after Marko left, back then they was actuaqlly 3 singers, now only 2. He do have a song where he is main vocal, called Harvest.. He have been a friend of band many many years, and was guest on some tracks in early day, i think he official became member around same time as Floor, being 2013..

First: Not electric particularly !!!! Troy Donockley "The Bard" and the sixth member of the band (is an English composer and multi-instrumentalist most known for his playing of Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, pump organ, bouzouki, cittern, bodhrán, mandola, harmonium, aerophone). Troy is playing the Uilleann (ill-en or ill-yen) pipes. The Irish version of the bagpipes which uses a bellows squeezed by the elbow to inflate the bag. Uilleann is the Gaelic word for elbow. Song: The song is a longing to feel emotions as one did when they were young. As we get older, the intensity of those emotions can wane or disappear altogether. And was written for Nightwish's second singer Anette, but of course, Floor Crushed it !!!! Crowd: OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÁ... OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ; CADA DÍA TE QUIERO MÁS...OOOHHH!!! SOY DE NIGHTWISH; ES UN SENTIMIENTO, NO PUEDO PARAR !!! (OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ OLÁ ... OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ; EVERY DAY I LOVE YOU MORE ... OOOHHH !!! I AM FROM NIGHTWISH; IT'S A FEELING, I CAN'T STOP! ). NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut/TWA 🤘😎🤘.

Please do Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean from this gig. You’ll love it as a drummer I’m sure.

Yep, Floor looks like a Superhero, or a Warrior Queen who has landed among us. - The uilleann pipes are Troy's trademark but according to him, they are extremely hard to play. He also said that since they don't have to be blown like the more famous Scottish bagpipes, you can have a drink while playing.

Multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Troy Donockley has been a full time member of Nightwish since 2013. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Donockley

Heck yeah bagpipes!

🖤🤘🔥

Elvenjig & elvenpath. Troy is a multi - instrumentalist.

Troy Donockley became a member of his parents' folk band as a teenager. He then worked in various roles and styles on the English folk scene. In 2007, Nightwish hired him as a tour player for the folk part of Nightwish music. Over time, his role grew. In 2013, he joined the band with Floor. You already heard him singing at the end of Parfum of the Timeless. In the following video, he plays the Uilleann Pipes and an E-Bouzouki with an EBow. He can also play normal flutes: NIGHTWISH - The Greatest Show on Earth (with Richard Dawkins) (OFFICIAL LIVE) The song is from the concept album / film music Imaginaerum. The main character's life is in ruins, but he is not ready to give up. In other metal bands, the backpipes are an integral part of the music: Saltatio Mortis - Pray To The Hunter feat. “The Elder Scrolls Online” (Official Video) FEUERSCHWANZ - Warriors Of The World United (feat Thomas Winkler, Saltatio Mortis & Melissa Bonny)

Troy started this concert (Tour) all alone on Stage, a must see: "Swanheart" Buenos Aires 2018 more Troy "musts" : -my Walden 2015 / Tampere or Wembley -While your lips are still red 2015 (Marko on Leadvocals, Troy on E-Bow Guitar) -The Greatest Show on Earth TAMPERE 2015, but keep this for later ;) The Uilleann Pipes are NOT electric ;) he has a bellow under his right arm to pump the air

4:19 All she needs is a sword... No she doesn't ... She'll just slay you with her powerful voice! 😁 (No electric bagpipes by the way. If you look closely during the solo with Emppu and Troy you can see that Troy is moving his right arm to push air out of the bag under his arm...)

We need Epica reactions! Please!

From the same show, watch Elvenpath/Elvenjig.

Troy is an offiial member of the band since 2013. You can see him in action with wind instruments in My Walden (Wembley 2015) or Last Of The Wilds (Wacken 2013). Another great instrument he plays that I like very much is the e-bow, as in While Your Lips Are Still Red (Wembley 2015).

I don't think those Uileann pipes are electric... miked, sure, but otherwise standard. As far as I know uileann means "armpit" in Irish gaelic, and indeed there is the pump under Troy's right armpit, pumping air into the bag Also, Troy is a "yes instrumentalist" in that his answer to "what instrument do you play?" is "yes". Uileann pipes, many kinds of flutes, recorder, guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, etc... dude seemingly plays them all.

Troy is playing Uilleann pipes (same family of Bag Pipes)

👍👍😎😎🤘🤘

Nightwish - The Greatest Show on Earth (Live) Tampere in Finland..Check Troy...

Since you like Nightwish so much check out the Christian band Divine Martyr. Their song Absolution is similar in style to Storytime.

I see you got info about Troy already :D He is also playing on Dead Boy's Poem, a bouzuki so it did not stand out as much as this, no wonder you did not notice :)
