Search - Beoga :: A Lovely Madness

Beoga is a traditional band based in County Antrim. Their unique sound features the twin duelling accordians of Seán Óg Graham and Damian McKee, along with four times All-Ireland bodhrán champion Eamon Murray and pianist Liam Bradley. While they have recently added one of Ireland s premier young singers, Niamh Dunne, to the fold, their debut CD, A Lovely Madness was recorded before her arrival in the band. The bedrock of Beoga s music lies firmly within the Irish tradition, but they are not afraid to incorporate other genres nuances into their music. From bluesy riffs to Astor Piazzola-style jazz, to a raunchy New Orleans jamboree vibe, their music always returns to a wonderfully bouncy traditional sound. With a repertoire of fresh self-penned tunes and inventive arrangements, their debut album A Lovely Madness has earned a 9/10 in Ireland s Hot Press magazine and was in the list of Top Trad/Folk Albums of the year.
