As the leading exponent of Irish music on the silver flute, Philippe Barnes is a world renowned flautist and composer. Classically trained, and with an MA in Irish Traditional Music from Limerick University, he’s a favourite at the USA’s National Flute Association and the British Flute Society flute conventions and his debut book “Irish Music on the Silver Flute” has sold thousands of copies globally.
He’s performed and recorded everywhere from West End musicals to film soundtracks, folk sessions to festivals, with some of the world’s most exciting and forward-looking Celtic musicians. The Clearwater Sessions enabled him to explore his voice on the wooden flute and whistle alongside the silver flute; whichever instrument he plays, it’s always recognisably Philippe from the first note.
Philippe is an Altus Artist and Azumi Ambassador, playing an Altus 1607 Flute.
Philippe’s appearance at the Just Flutes Festival 2025 is generously supported by the Altus Flutes.
