(Irish Music)

One of our favorite Irish bands, Teada has played several concerts in San Diego for the AMSD concert series. Band member Oisin Mac Diarmada is also the organizer of Irish Christmas in America, a touring band that has played the states at holiday time for the past two years and which will be back this year (and in San Diego again too!)

Compass Records is having an excellent Fall Cleaning Sale and it happens that most of the offerings ($6 per CD) are Celtic bands and musicians. Dala, Teada, Lunasa, The Poozies, Andy M. Stewart, Cherish the Ladies, dozens of others. If you like Irish music, don't miss this sale which ends Tuesday Sept. 24th. Compass Records - Fall Cleaning Sale page 1

Here is Compass Records' description of Teada:
Oisín Mac Diarmada (fiddle, vocals), John Blake (guitar, flute), Seán McElwain (banjo, bouzouki), Tristan Rosenstock (bodhrán), and Paul Finn (accordion) - together, they are a group whose age belies how fully seasoned they are as instrumental performers. Téada is a band that listens to tradition - now, go on, have a listen to Give Us A Penny and Let Us Be Gone!
