Mellow cello instrumental in Seti’s success
WHEN musicians Kevin Murphy and Thomas Haugh began collaborating, their ambitions were far from lofty. “My main hope really, when we set out,” says Murphy, “was that we wouldn’t be embarrassed by it, that it would be something we could stand over. And amongst our peers that we could just play it and feel that it was some kind of contribution.”
Throughout the 1990s, Murphy, from Monkstown in Cork, spent much of his time with Dublin-based Interference, as well as performing as a session player for the likes of the Gavin Friday and Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan. About two years ago, he encountered his current bandmate at a gig where Haugh was playing drums and Murphy was playing cello.
