  • Description

    After a break of nearly three years since their last album 'Humpy 'n Lump'y in 2010 Fleadh, Germany's #1 Celtic band are back with a much sharpened profile.

    The new album bears the stamp of front man Saoirse Mhór who brings five of his own songs including the title track 'The Cleggan Bay Disaster'. In their own words Fleadh strive to play honest Irish Folk music. That indeed sums up their lineup of fiddle mando,banjo and pipes but they clearly allow more room for percussion and bass in this new production. They also integrate other styles such as swing, bluegrass or blues. Anything that grooves. The Irish melodies are not just played but fitted out with musical counterparts and intricate guitar parts which weave in and out of the arrangements consisting of unexpected intros or middleparts.
