About
Noonan and Crosby first formed Juniper (with Damien Rice) before becoming founding members of Irish indie band Bell X1. In the years since, both have developed singular careers: Noonan through Bell X1 and other projects Printer Clips and HousePlants (with electronic producer Daithí), and Crosby via acclaimed film and television scores and his solo piano and ambient work.
Paul Noonan is best known as the frontman of the Irish group Bell X1. From humble childhood beginnings as second flautist in the Lucan Concert Band (Yup!), Paul has also featured as contributor to records by Gemma Hayes, The Frames and The Cake Sale, a record for Oxfam.
Brian Crosby is a piano player, composer and performer who releases his own piano and ambient music and collaborates with film makers and artists on a variety of audio visual and installation projects. He was a founding member of Irish indie band Bell X1 and the creator of the eclectic group The Cake Sale.
Their album Wintering released in early 2026 relies on lush pianos, cinematic arrangements, and poetic lyricism. The album has already been named an early contender for Irish Album of the Year, being praised as "sheer bliss" and a masterful display of atmospheric songwriting.
Pilgrims marks their first creative collaboration in 16 years.
