Cèide are: "These five lads from various backgrounds first started to play together at a regular Sunday night session in my pub in Westport. It soon became clear that they were developing a distinctive and original sound, combining the best of traditional music with contemporary songs and arrangements.

The Chicago Irish American News, July 06 "This is terrific, traditional music played with gusto and understanding---a rare combination", Bill Margeson
Out Of Their Shell is the second album by Mayo-based traditional band Céide, but it's the first to feature their new ace in the hole: singer Marianne Knight, who also plays a bit of bodhrán and adds a jazzy flute to the spirited 'Bold Donnelly'. "Her clear, bright voice and crisp ornamentation make her one of the most exciting vocalists to come along in years, and when flute player Brian Lennon sings harmony on the final verse of 'John O'Dreams' the effect is electrifying". Hot Press Produced by Seamie O'Dowd, former guitar/fiddle ace with Dervish, who is acquiring the most sought after producer hat in Ireland, among his recent productions, which drew tremendous critical acclaim, was Mary McPartlan's The Holland Handkerchief, which won MOJO magazine's Folk Album of 2005. Seamie is bevering away at h is own solo debut album. Which is eagerly awaited. |
