Gadan

Gadan is the new project created by four experienced and well-known musicians
in Irish trad and European folk/rock scene, with years of touring in the major
European and US festivals of traditional and contaminated folk music.

An impactful repertoire with a powerful live appeal and a sound comparable to
new-trad acts such as Talisk, WeBanjo3, The East Pointers or Rura, but with a unique
identity thanks to years of experience in several folk scenes, from Appalachian &
Old Time to Scottish and English folk and traditional music.

Two banjos – tenor & clawhammer – fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki and guitar for a
“strings-only” sound with a hint of electronics and driven by a powerful rhythmic
pulse. A loop of building energy, taking audience to ecstasy with the wide spectrum
of refreshing yet traditional tones.

The Gadan power leaves no one unmoved. Who said you need drums to groove?
