2003 New Band Irish Traditional Music Award Winners!.......2005-03-07

Failte! (Greetings) If Irish Traditional Music is your auditory taste, especially played in pub style instead of studio style, this is a very strong first album contribution of a young, very talented, new band. It brings back memories of Danu's first album.

There is Irish Traditional Music, and then there is real Irish Traditional Music played in the traditional way. There are traditional songs sung in English for the tourists. Then there are songs sung in the original Irish Gaelic for the locals. It is refreshing to hear the traditional music played in the traditional way without all of the typical studio ornamentation and improvisation. "Teada" in this sense can be translated as the tradition that binds us together, such as the pub and its music binding a community together.

This traditional pub style is becoming an endangered species. I love the blend of these instruments. Please see my review on the second album. The two albums are a strong contribution to keeping the tradition alive. I am eagerly awaiting a third album. Eire Go Brach! (Ireland Forever!)

Whiskey in a jar.......2004-06-03

Teada is a young four-piece band which won the Irish Music Magazine's "Best Traditional Newcomers 2003" award. This is no nonsense traditional, West Coast style, mostly instrumental music played on fiddle, guitar, flute, bouzouki, piano, banjo and bodhran. Jigs, reels and hornpipes are played with consummate skill and the Gaelic songs have a gentle understatement that is appealing. The unaccompanied "Peigin `s Peadar" in three-part harmony has a truly ancient feel about it, while "A Bhean a' ti" will be familiar to lovers of early Clannad recordings. The whole album conjures up a great night at an Irish pub, rather than a studio recording. It rolls along at a pretty even and gentle pace, with emphasis on melody and charm rather than fancy arrangements. Perhaps the bodhran playing could have been more varied, but lovers of traditional Irish music will definitely enjoy. Interesting notes on the pieces are provided.
