Since coming to public attention several years ago on the innovative Irish television series, Flosc, youthful band Teada has been steadily gaining momentum, purveying its lively blend of traditional Irish instrumental tunes and vocal numbers across America and Europe, and being chosen Best Traditional Newcomers in Irish Music Magazine�s 2003 Readers� Poll.

As heard on their 2004 release, Give Us a Penny and Let Us Be Gone (Green Linnet), Teada plays stylish, intelligent music, sensitive and rollicking in turn, its sense of fun balanced by beautiful moments of subtle delicacy. The dynamic unison playing of acclaimed County Sligo fiddler Oisin MacDiarmada and flutist Damien Stenson are backed by guitar and bouzouki from Sean McElwain, first-rate button accordion from Paul Finn, and the bodhran of Tristan Rosenstock.
