Seoda Céilí (CD)
by
The Clare Céilí Band
Céad mile fáilte to our CD: Seoda Céili. We are a group of young musicians from all over Clare. Following on from the very successful launch of our first CD, Turas Ceoil (2020), we have recorded and produced our second CD.
The preparation for this CD began through online Zoom meetings during the Covid restrictions. All the selections of tunes on this CD are inspired by the legendary Céilí Bands spanning the last 60 years. Our CD is aptly called “Seoda Céili”, meaning Céilí Gems, as a tribute to the impact that these selections and bands have had on the Céilí Band tradition. Our aim is to capture the powerful driving rhythm that these bands possess whilst also interpreting and performing these tunes in our own style.
