Téada a Leading Irish Traditional Band since 2001

The ace musicians in Téada have been performing Irish music to much acclaim around the world for more than 20 years. They have headlined major festivals throughout North America, Mexico, Europe, Africa, Australia and the Middle East.

For a taste, check out this medley of Ar Mhuin na Muice and three other tunes by clicking the video below.  The Irish Echo newspaper has this to say about Téada’s latest recording:  “Overall, ‘Coiscéim Coiligh /As the Days Brighten’ is a thrilling album.  The band is in stellar form, presenting an excellent selection of tunes and songs in constantly engaging arrangements.”

Téada is comprised of Oisin Mac Diarmada on fiddle, Paul Finn on button accordion, Damien Stinson on flute, Seán McElwain on guitar and bouzouki, Tristan Rosenstock on bodhrán and Samantha Harvey on piano (and dancing).
