Recently featured on the cover of Irish Music magazine, this five-piece band keeps traditional fans happy with sensitive whistle harmonies to driving, high-powered strings – and captivating lyrics that Irish Music Magazine calls “inventive and provocative.” “…They can sing, they can write, they can dance across fingerboards and piano keys, buttons and bows, and by crikey can they play.” Alex Monaghan, review 2003
The promise of this band was noticed when they won Best Newcomers Award in 2001. Slide currently holds the Music Network award. The Irish Times calls SLIDE “traditional musicians with attitude”. Folk Roots Magazine proclaims, “There’s plenty of action and flamboyance in Slides’s music,” which merges “swagger with traditional expertise.”
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 with singer and multi-instrumentalist, Dave Curley.
