teada’s characteristic lively blend of instrumentals and vocals in the traditional Irish idiom has seen the band evolve into one of the busiest bands in the traditional music scene in recent times. Having first come to attention through an appearance on the innovative Irish television series, Flosc, in 2001, téada, went on to undertake highly successful tours of the United States and Finland and Germany throughout their initial year as a band. An extensive promotional tour of the US took place during June 2002, including a headline appearance at the Potomac Celtic Festival, VA and performances in many major cities including New York, Boston, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The first six months of 2003 have brought extensive touring activity throughout the United States, Canada, Austria, Italy and the United Kingdom, with audiences hearing for the first time, an expanded 5-member line-up featuring accordionist Paul Finn from Laois. After a number of festival performances over those summer months, the band departed on a September/October 40 day tour of the United States and Canada, returning to Ireland just in time to collect the “Best Traditional Newcomers 2003” award from Irish Music Magazine, at a special awards ceremony held at The National Concert Hall, Dublin on October 7th 2003.
The CMA welcomes you to experience téada in the new year, 2004. Slainte!
