"The composer Roger Doyle has worked extensively in theatre, film and dance, and wrote the scores for the Gate Theatre's acclaimed production of Wilde's 'Salomé' and Bob Quinn's film, 'Budawanny'. His magnum opus, 'Babel', was released as a five-CD box set to mark Doyle's 50th birthday a few years ago, and a recent commission was to compose a piece for the 'Ulysses' centenary celebrations which are happening this year. He's about to give a rare piano concert, along with fellow composer-performers Trevor Knight and Rebecca Collins."
