    One of Irish traditional music's leading exponents, Téada is driven by a fascination for the timeless, expressive force of music inherited from previous generations of musicians. An Irish band with a truly worldwide reach, Téada has appeared as a frequent headliner at major music festivals throughout the US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Africa, Israel and Australia. Winner of 'Best Young Irish Traditional Act' at Ireland's Music Awards, Téada released a long awaited fourth album, "Ceol & Cuimhne / Music & Memory" in 2010 described by The Irish Echo's Earle Hitchner as "the best album of Irish instrumental music I've heard so far this year." 2011 saw Téada mark its 10th anniversary with a busy season of touring and other special projects. Founded by Sligo fiddler Oisín Mac Diarmada, Téada means "strings" in the Irish language and the group revels in the vibrant traditional music of Ireland. Deftly playing up its structural intricacies while preserving the contagious energy inherent in the repertoire, the group strives to capture a sense of the rawness and individuality of the solo artist, within a modern group context. Téada is Sean Mc Elwain on guitar, Sean Gavin on flute, newest member Seamus Begley on accordion/vocals and Jack Talty on concertina.
