Beoga Formed in 2002, Beoga (Irish word for ‘lively’) are based in CountyAntrim, in the north of Ireland. Their unique sound features the twin dueling accordians of Damian McKee and multi-instrumentalist Seán Óg Graham, pianist Liam Bradley and four times All-Ireland bodhrán champion Eamon Murray. The lineup is completed by Niamh Dunne, one of Ireland’s premier young talents, on vocals and fiddle. The bedrock of their sound lies firmly within the Irish tradition.
With three critically acclaimed albums to their credit, the supergroup are
blazing a pioneering trail, rewarding fans with their fresh creative
energy and award winning performances. The string of accolades from the
music industry say it best, “Simply thrilling, an auditory high-wire act
without a net,” writes Irish Philadelphia, “This is a major, major band to
be reckoned with… super vocals, a terrific staccato beat to the rhythm,
with a real sense of style and wit,” says The Chicago American Times,
“Beoga are at the forefront of the Irish new wave,” concludes Irish Music
Magazine. |
