DERMOT
HYDE hails from a musical family, with both his mother –
from Malin Head in Co Donegal, and his father playing musical instruments. He
first encountered the tin whistle as a youth, and, before
he knew it, found himself "falling head over heels in
love with that magical little pipe". As a result, the
inevitable piano and classical guitar lessons began to fade
into the background. After starting pipes, Hyde was always
involved in writing tunes and songs, and his own compositions
make up a large part of the regular PIPELINE programme on
stage. A fond involvement in the theatre and its music has
prompted Dermot Hyde to pen a number of acclaimed melodies
for, amongst others, Royal Shakespeare Company director Michael
Bogdanov.
