### Música irlandesa 
Á idade de 12 anos, Spillane comezou a tocar as uilleann pipes. O seu pai animouno e inspirouno co seu amor por todos os xéneros musicais. Durante os seguintes tres anos tocou en sesións e coñeceu a moitos músicos irlandeses destacados. Con 16 anos, xirou por Irlanda, Gran Bretaña e Europa continental. En 1978, comezou a escribir a súa propia música. Como actor, fixo de xitano no filme de 1981 *Traveller* de Joe Comerford. xunto con Christy Moore e Dónal Lunny en 1981. Aínda que cada membro tiña unha intensa traxectoria na música folk irlandesa, a banda tocou principalmente composicións orixinais, ás veces con matices políticos e un son folk rock. O seu derradeiro álbum *The Storm* (1985) foi puramente instrumental e tivo varias pezas lentas escritas por Spillane. Despois, uniuse por sorpresa ao músico estadounidense Béla Fleck, o inglés Albert Lee, Jerry Douglas e outros para gravar un álbum debut de Davy Spillane coas súas novas composicións de *bluegrass* e *blues*, *Atlantic Bridge,* En 1993, Spillane colaborou con músicos canadenses como Bryan Adams e Daniel Weaver no seu álbum *Weeds* máis *My Heart Will go On de* Celine Dion. En 1994, Spillane foi solista convidado especial en *Riverdance*. Spillane tamén colaborou con Rory Gallagher nos temas "The Road to Ballyalla", "Litton Lane" e "One For Phil", así como con Enya nos seus temas de 1988 "Exile" e "Na Laetha Geal M'Óige".

### Música de cine 
En 1992, Spillane compuxo música para a película de ''Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights* de Peter Kosminsky e, en 1995, a de *Rob Roy*. Outras composicións e convites inclúen *Sensual World* de Kate Bush (1989), *Voyager* de Mike Oldfield (1996), MTV Unplugged de Bryan Adams, Van Morrison e Elvis Costello.
