Album Description

Téada (Pronounced tay-da, meaning "strings" in Irish) has been called "one of the most exciting traditional groups to emerge in recent years" (Irish World). The Irish quintet was voted "Best Traditional Newcomers" in Irish Music Magazine, and have released two highly-regarded albums on Green Linnet. "A new and fresh face in Irish music, Téada is a band to watch out for," says The Irish Voice.

On Inné Amárach (or `Yesterday Tomorrow') Téada juxtaposes musical material from as far back as the 18th century, with interpretations of diverse traditional tunes of modern origin, Téada reflects a deep cultural fascination with the interaction of past and present. Accompanied by a DVD documentary providing a snapshot of the group's musical influences, Inné Amárach or `Yesterday Tomorrow' is a vivid melodic and rhythmic exploration by a traditional group engaging with a global audience.

Package includes a bonus DVD featuring live performance footage of Téada and documentary of the rich musical culture of Ireland's Sligo region.

If you like trad Irish, this CD and DVD is a must have!.......2007-03-04

This music CD and DVD combination is a great purchase for TRADITIONAL Irish folk music fans. Please understand that there is traditional Irish music played with more ornamentation and percussion, so we are talking about a less ornamented style of playing more typical of small groups involved in music sessions in pubs throughout Ireland, and of those sessions through the last couple of decades. The music CD is a tour of the length and breadth of this music and different rhythms. The DVD is a showpiece for County Sligo, including beautiful green scenery, the elder Sligo musicians being interviewed, pub sessions and studio work. That is alot of Ireland for the price of the purchase! Best viewed with a pint (or more) of Guinness.

This is a young band, and I am eagerly awaiting any future albums and/or DVD's. Their DVD is an especially valuable addition to my collection that includes Dervish at Johnny Fox's, Midsummer's Night Session (Dervish), One Night Stand (Danu), Water from the Well (Chieftains), Solas (Solas Concert), and Gael Force (Various Musicians).

Best Irish trad album of 2006.......2007-01-29

I have to agree with an earlier review posted here: best Irish trad of 2006. A few years back, from their first two albums, Danú led the pack before they shifted with a new vocalist (see my review on Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh's solo debut) into more of a Sandy Denny/ Fairport blend of folk, trad, and light rock. Fifteen years ago, Altan. Twenty-five, Bothy Band. Thirty, Planxty.

This package offers eleven traditional tunes and a DVD feature that places the band within their influences, interviewing not only the musicians in Téada but their mentors in Sligo. Fittingly, this third album by this innovative quintet places Téada in the front ranks of younger Irish traditional groups. They delve deeply into the albums they have and the sessions they attend for selections from primarily Sligo and Clare. They merge these two traditions, usually kept apart by most musicians on their records, and this matches the make-up of the band: two Sligomen, a Dubliner, and one each from Laois and Monaghan. Guitar, flute, button accordion, fiddle, piano, and bodhrán work together.

The DVD shares this cooperative spirit, as fans of the band, local veterans of the music scene, and the band all contribute their appreciation of traditional music. The results here are not stodgy, however. The youth of the band ensures that the tunes are played with the proper balance of respect and rearrangement. All instrumental, the concentration of their energy bodes well. Given the decline in intensity by their somewhat older peers as shown on recent recordings by Lúnasa and Áltan, Téada continues to hone a sound that avoids concessions to synthetic production or diminished purity; this makes "Inné Amárach" a perfect title. Blending "yesterday" with "tomorrow," the audio with the video, studio talent with pub spontaneity, this handsomely designed CD-DVD set fulfills the promise of their first two solid records. It probably surpasses it; the confidence here should fuel more such albums by the five lads for many years to come. (Last 2 paragraphs from my review on rootsworld.com)

The sound of the Irish "session" - perfected.......2006-11-10

Just hearing this CD brought back memories of great sessions in Ireland over the last 20 years. The difference is that the musicians here lift the "session" to a level of perfection that is a pleasure to listen to beyond the ordinary. Sweetly distinct instruments blend into a fusion that evokes those meetings of talented musicians (usually in pubs!) that one was rarely privileged to stumble into on the byways and highways of Ireland. Listening to this CD is like having your own top class session on hand when you need it! The changing balance of instruments on each track keeps the listener captivated.

Best trad album of 2006.......2006-10-30

It's been a couple of years since Téada's last album, but man! was it worth the wait! This is a fantastic album of traditional music, in my opinion clearly the best traditional album of the year. It includes examples of many different types of tunes--you don't just get jigs and reels on this, no sir, you get planxties, marches, polkas, and even a "descriptive piece," "Nóra Críona," which is beautifully done, by the way. It is really seldom a traditional CD presents one with such a range of types of tunes, and seldom that such interesting tunes as these are included. For my part, my absolute favorite track on the whole album is the one that includes "The Shelf," a polka that Damien Stenson learned from Harry Bradley, though the track including the march "Jamesy Gannon's" is also wonderful (three members of Téada are also part of a ceili band which played this march as one of their selections in the Fleadh Cheoil competition). Each of the instruments gets a chance to shine on the various tracks, and from beginning to end this is a resolutely exciting album that shows off the tremendous talent of one of the finest traditional-style bands ever to come out of Ireland. What's even better is that, in addition to the wonderful music, there is a DVD containing a short documentary that addresses the musical influences of the band, which mostly consist of the musical traditions of North Connacht. There are interviews here with each of the band members, as well as the great fiddle/flute player Peter Horan, Verona Ryan, and Paddy Ryan, as well as stunning scenery from the Sligo region. If you love Irish music, you MUST HAVE this CD!

Great Irish Folk Music.......2006-07-26

I am a big fan of Danu and have started liking Teada as well. I have heard both bands play live and it is a real treat. I really enjoy the energy in "Give us a penny ... " CD.

A must have album for fans of real Irish Traditional Music!.......2005-03-06

Failte! (Greetings) Give the lads more than a penny and let them stay! On December 26 each year, St. Stephen's Day (sometimes known as Wren Day) roving groups of boys are dressed in straw woven head gear. Teada's album cover is a 1947 Dublin photo of a typical group of boys going from house to house, pub to pub, to play music and gather their donation before they would leave. This is an excellent, new, Irish traditional music band of five lads playing in the traditional way. Their music is somewhat similar to Danu.

This might be characterized as more chamber style music that you might hear at a pub instead of studio music. For that reason, without typical studio ornamentation it is perhaps closer to the traditional style. Oisin Mac Diarmada provides beautiful Irish Gaelic vocals and strong fiddle leads. John Blake provides excellent flute leads and guitar backup. Paul Finn provides excellent button accordian and concertina leads and backup. Sean McElwain provides some of the best bouzouki playing that I have heard in a long time as well as tenor banjo. This is a strong four person team typically providing double and triple leads and counterpoint harmony. Tristan Rosenstock offers compatible percussion on bodhran, although some adjustment to a stereo equalizer is needed at times to bring percussion up to an equal mix to hear the excellent technique.

Taken altogether, this is a very strong offering to Irish traditional music. As I feel keeping the tradition alive is critical, I would rate this at 6 stars if I could. If they came to my door on St. Stephens Day, I would definitely invite them in for a jam session and drinks. US CD distributors need to keep their CDs in stock, as it takes awhile for popular bands in Ireland to gain full support in the states. Eire Go Brach! (Ireland Forever!)

Strong & Traditional.......2004-09-29

Traditional, straight on music is delivered, slightly raw, on a wooden platter. Yummy! I don't profess to know much about Irish music other than having been to the local (American-Irish,) pub a few times to hear the musicians, but I can tell slick from the real and this is the real stuff. (I am not so in love with Natalie MacMaster's style, if that helps in telling you where I'm coming from.) "Give us a Penny..." is Irish, not overly produced, clean, but not too clean, and full of heart, containing a mixture of reels, jigs, and other songs. I hope these young musicians are around and playing for a long time to come.

2003 New Band Irish Traditional Music Award Winners!.......2005-03-08

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.
