Irish Celtic

Recently featured on the cover of Irish Music magazine, this five-piece band keeps traditional fans happy while appealing to younger audiences with their contemporary, hard driving tunes…"they can sing, they can write, they can dance across fingerboards and piano keys, buttons and bows, and by crikey can they play"

The promise of this band was noticed when they won Best Newcomers Award in 2001 with their debut CD The Flying Pig. This set the wheel in motion and extensive European tours that left audiences rattled and mesmerized by the high powered deliverance and lively performance of this young band’s innovative music. Their second CD Harmonic Motion in 2003 was a great success reaffirming Slide's pole position in the traditional genre. Slide are the current holders of the Music Networks award.

The band includes Éamonn de Barra on flute, whistles, bodhrán, piano and harmonium, Aogán Lynch on concertina and whistle, Daire Bracken on fiddle, strings and guitar, Mick Broderick on bouzouki and mandolin and singer, Andrew Murray.
