Téada, an Irish traditional music band, has garnered international acclaim for their masterful rendition of Ireland’s musical heritage. Formed in 2001, the band comes from a generation which found a renewed passion for the vibrant tunes and heart-stirring ballads that are central to Irish culture. The ensemble’s name, meaning "strings" in the Irish language, offers a nod to the thread of continuity intrinsic to their musical repertoire.

The band’s lineup, featuring Oisín Mac Diarmada on fiddle, Paul Finn on button accordion, Damien Stenson on flute, Seán McElwain on bouzouki, and Tristan Rosenstock on bodhrán, each contribute to Téada’s energetic and nuanced performances. Their discography, with albums such as "Coiscéim Coiligh - As The Days Brighten" and "In Spite of the Storm," showcase the band’s dedication to the rich tradition of Irish music, while also reflecting the band's aptitude for innovation within the genre. “Ceol & Cuimhne (Music & Memory),” “Inné Amárach,” the self-titled “Téada,” and "Lá an Dreoilín" further solidify their standing as torchbearers of the tradition, earning them a global fanbase and solidifying their status as stalwarts of traditional Irish music on the world stage.
