Líadan’s mesmerising singing and creative instrumental music have been captivating audiences throughout Ireland, Europe and America since the band’s formation in Spring 2004. Blending together their rich musical backgrounds, these six talented young ladies create a fresh and exciting sound that explores both traditional and new material. The uniqueness of Líadan lies in the deeply traditional essence of their music and in each band member’s ability to shine both instrumentally and vocally. Líadan’s stage presence displays a group personality that is both vibrant and engaging. Their tune playing features striking string and reed rhythms and accompaniments while always keeping the melody central to their arrangements. In contrast, the band also performs a selection of traditional and sean-nós songs using acapella, harmonies and instrumental arrangements.
From Galway, Limerick and Dublin, this inspiring all-female band comprises of six members: Síle Denvir, harpist; Deirdre Chawke, piano accordion; Valerie Casey and Claire Dolan, fiddles; Sarah-Jane Woods, flute; Elaine Cormican, whistles.
