Internacional: Irlanda

Altan

Altan are probably the most talked-about and lauded traditional group to come out of Ireland this past decade. Playing Donegal-based authentic traditional music, they have achieved great popularity without diluting or jazzing up the music. Altan's tireless touring has won them a loyal following especially in America, and helped them make impressive inroads on world music charts.

Anan
Anam’s music is continually evolving.  Although predominantly rooted in the Celtic traditions they have always sought to push the traditional boundaries forward while still respecting their rich musical heritage.  With Irish, Scottish and Cornish members in the group, there is a wealth of influence and tradition among them. 

Anúna
With voices and harmonies woven from the mouths of angels, Anúna may just be the most intriguing vocal group on the classical/pop scene today.

Arcady
A very proficient traditional group from Ireland, created by ace bodhran player Johnny ("Ringo") McDonagh when he left De Dannan; the band has been up and down, and has included Sharon Shannon, Frances Black, Tommy McCarthy and Sean Keane in its lineup. Their first album, After the Ball, was a big hit, but then nothing was heard for a long time until "Many Happy Returns" which has marked a sort of resurection of the band.

Begley & Cooney
This unlikely pairing of an Australian ex-rocker guitarist (Stephen Cooney) and Kerry accordion player (Seamus Begley) is now recognised as one of the top acts in Irish music, playing traditional dance music with a fire that is true to the tradition, and much appreciated by the dancers for whom the music exists.

Black, Frances
FRANCES BLACK's professional singing debut was in 1986, when she began performing with her three brothers and sister (Shay, Michael, Martin, Mary, Frances) as The Black Family, performing a mix of traditional and contemporary/traditional Irish music.

Black, Mary
A few years ago, a friend in Connecticut sent me a CD recording by an Irish woman singer she would soon be seeing/hearing. Coincidentally, I recognized the name as a musician John Jennings had mentioned as recording a cover of Mary Chapin Carpenter's wonderful song, Moon and St. Christopher - which had intrigued me, but I had not yet tracked down the recording of that particular song.

Bothy Band
The Bothies were possibly the greatest of new Irish traditional groups that arose in the seventies. Their fire and brilliance has long outlasted their three year history and the four albums they produced are prized possesions of many celtic music lovers.

Boys of the Lough
Boys of the Lough are one of the past masters of celtic music, combining members from several celtic traditions with a long history; where other celtic groups last a few years, the Boys are now in their third decade and retain two of their earliest members. Like that other long-running act the Chieftans, their music tends to the formal; impeccable technique and sensitivity, with large, sometimes classical-style arrangements, and very tight ensemble playing.

Burke, Kevin
Fiddler Kevin Burke is one of those names that just pops up everywhere, and with a lot of respect attached to it at that. From the seventies, with the legendary Bothy Band to the present, with his own Open House, has has always been one of the top musicians on the celtic scene.

Celtic Fiddle Festival
The Celtic Fiddle Festival is a group rather than an event, a combination of one of the best fiddlers from each of three celtic countries - Johnny Cunningham of Scotland, Kevin Burke of Ireland and Christian Lemaitre from Brittany. This grouping came together in 1992 for an American tour, which was recorded and issued as an album.

The Chieftains
Here is a Chieftains discography that I've put together from several sources, not all of which quite agree with one another! Please tell me of any additions or corrections. Thanks to Mark Fischer who supplied some of this listing, and to Jeff Doty and Craig Lawrence for other Chieftains-associated albums.

Chulrua
Chulrua combines 3 of the finest Irish traditional musicians touring today. Paddy O'Brien, Senior All-Ireland button accordion champion. Tim Britton, master of the uilleann pipes as well as wooden flute and tin whistle. Pat Egan, master guitar accompanist and singer from Tipperary. Their collective mastery of Irish music and song is unparalleled, providing a concert experience of the highest caliber.

Clannad
With haunting songs, mesmerizing vocals, and a captivating sound that blends elements of traditional Irish and contemporary music, CLANNAD continues to occupy a unique place in the modern musical world.

O'Connell, Robbie
O'Connell is a songwriter of vision, awareness and maturity. He has the ability to take an everyday experience or thought and turn it into an effective structured song. All his material is melodic and accessible and his keen sense of humour is never far from the surface.

Connolly, Rita
On the following pages, you will find details of Rita Connolly's essential recorded output and an article and interview, first published in The Living Tradition magazine in January 1995.

Cran
CRAN are a unique group in the Irish folk-music world with their own highly-individualistic approach and a bewildering array of styles and repertoire. Each member of the trio already had international reputations in their own fields before the band was formed.

De Dannan
De Dannan are one of the most famous traditional Irish groups of the recent past. Their often-changing membership has spun off solo careers for singers Maura O' Connell, Mary Black and Dolores Keane and has included such luminaries as Andy Irvine, Johnny Moynihan, Frankie Gavin. They are regarded by many as one of the great Irish folk groups of recent years, along with the likes of Planxty and the Bothy Band.

Dubliners
The Dubliners were one of the first groups to revive Irish traditional music and especially ballad music, in the sixties and are still going strong many years later, especially popular in Europe.

Fliying Toads, The
The Flying Toads have been playing together for 3 years and their extensive repertoire ranges from lively jigs and reels to well known singalong songs, or the occasional haunting ballad to make you cry into your Guinness! The band’s name originates from a spoonerism of the Irish hornpipe, "The Flowing Tide"! Keith and Val were formerly in the popular Sussex Irish band Cushleen, along with guitarist John Carroll, and have played together for 11 years. Dave is a well-known singer/songwriter in his own right.

Four Mens and a Dog
Four Men and a Dog burst on the scene at the Belfast Folk Festival in 1990, with a high-energy approach that combines furious traditional dance tunes with irreverent new music and inimitable covers.

Gunn, Douglas
Recorder Player, Composer, Arranger & Conductor...

Hayes, Martin
Martin Hayes was born in 1961 in Maghera, Co. Clare, into a musical family; his grandmother played concertina, his uncle Paddy Canny was national fiddle champion and his father is now celebrating a half century as fiddler and leader of the Tulla Ceili Band, probably the best known of Irish ceili bands and major stars of the dance band scene of the 50s and 60s.

Irvine, Andy
Andy Irvine has been at the core of many of the great Irish traditional groups, from the groundbreaking Sweeney's Men to the classic Planxty and more recently in Patrick Street. He has also had an extensive solo career and collaborated with Dick Gaughan, Paul Brady, Davy Spillane and others.

Ivers, Eileen
Born in New York City, Eileen Ivers is one of the top fiddle players in the world today. Eileen has been a member of such notable bands as, Hall and Oates, The Green Fields of America, and Chanting House before joining the World Wide hit show Riverdance, the show with whom she is currently touring.

Riverdance
For Generations, Irish dance was very much the poor relation in a national family of talkers poets, actors, writers and singers… …But all the while, Irish dance was biding its time...

Kilbride, Pat
Born in Ireland, Pat started out in the English folk clubs late in the 70s with Scotland's Battlefield Band, recording one album with them. (At The Front, Topic Records) Pat spent most of the eighties in Belgium, where he recorded 3 solo albums and toured Spain, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands with his own Band as well as recording and performing in other projects.

Lúnasa
LÚNASA is Ireland's hottest new traditional band. In January 1999, Lúnasa took New England by storm during a 4 -day promotional tour of the North East, laying the groundwork for the release of their first studio recording, and subsequent tours of the U.S. and Canada. 'Folk with balls!' proclaimed a review of Lúnasa's appearance at The Blue Mountain Folk Festival in Australia. 'Not since The Bothy Band has an audience held its band in such awe and expressed its gratitude for their talent so vehemently.'

Lunny, Donald
One of the most influential people on the Irish traditional music scene, Lunny has been a member of three groundbreaking Irish groups: Planxty, The Bothy Band and Moving Hearts. He is one of the most accomplished bouzouki players in Irish music and is largely responsible for its popularity in traditional music. More recently, he has moved backstage, as a record producer, TV programmer and other behind-the-scenes roles.

Maken, Tomy
Regarded by many as the "godfather" of Irish music, Tommy Makem is widely known as the latter day "Bard of Armagh." On concert tours around the world, recording, television specials and in his own Tommy Makem's Irish Pavilion in New York City, for over three decades he has been weaving evenings of pure magic.

McGoldrick, Michael
Inspired by Irish parents and encouraged by the thriving traditional music scene in his home town of Manchester, Mike began playing Irish music at the age of 8. By the age of 15, he already had numerous All-Ireland Championship firsts under his belt and was making a name for himself as a member of perhaps the first and certainly the most influential Celtic rock band in Manchester - Toss the Feathers.

Moore, Christy
Famed Irish folk singer, this discography covers his solo work as well as full coverage of Planxty and Moving Hearts.

Neili Go Deazz
Neilí go Deazz are an exciting and innovative new duo consisting of the highly innovative and virtuosic flute-player , and the multi-talented Niall Keeganbodhran player and singer, Sandra Joyce. Their music though influenced through the myriad of styles of music current today is rooted in their own aural tradition, particularily the instrumental traditions of Connaught and Ulster.

NightNoise
Nightnoise started as a partnership between Irish traditional musician Mícheál Ó'Dómhnaill and American violinist Billy Oskay in 1983 when Mícheál moved to Portland, Oregon. Their music is a fusion of jazz, traditional Irish, and impressionistic chamber music, mostly written by the group's members. In most pieces, the celtic influences are subtle, with some traditional tunes standing out.

Sands, Tommy
Tommy is a members of the Sands family, one of the important early folk revivalists in Ireland, and a very well known solo performer and songwriter. He is best known for his songs on the Northern Ireland conflict, especially the very often recorded 'there were roses', of two friends of his who were killed in the violence there.

Shannon, Sharon
Sharon Shannon is a young accordion player from Co. Clare, Ireland who has had huge success both in her solo career and with A Woman's Heart and the Whaterboys.

Shantalla
"Their live shows radiate a raw pulsating energy and musical force not witnessed since the Bothy Band era... Their reputation lies in the strength of their stage show and the power of their music... a lethal concoction of musical dexterity and gut power... when they put the hammer down they play with a fury unmatched since The Bothy Band's heyday."

Splillane, Davy
Davy Spillane Message Board...

Stockton´s Wing
Stockton's Wing was formed by a quartet of All-Ireland champion musicians in 1977 as a progressive band, with an individual style derived from a traditional background. They blend a mix of fiery traditional sets with ballads and folk songs.

Súilleabháin, Micheál Ó
Micheál Ó'Súilleabháin is an Irish pianist, composer, producer and ethnomusicologist. He has pioneered a new style of Irish piano music in his recordings and has become a major figure in the Irish musical world linking the worlds of academia and performance.

Sweeney's Men
Sweeney's Men were the first of the modern folk-traditional Irish groups, and had a huge impact on almost everything that followed. In the late sixties, the folk revival in Ireland was chiefly in the hands of the Dubliners and Clancy Brothers, very much into vigorous ballad singing, and Sweeney's Men injected some fresh instrumentals into the scene.

Waterboys
Who Were They? The Waterboys were a folk-rock group led by Scotsman Mike Scott from 1981-1993. The style and membership changed dramatically through the life of the group, revolving always around Scott. It started as a 'big music' (their own term) rock group, then moved to Ireland where they took on a more folky, lyrical sound.
