TRADISH
is a new musical constellation, formed in 2008, although all members
have previously played together in Irish trad. band Moving Cloud.
TRADISH
perform both traditional and self-written material, from songs
centuries old to tunes written last week.
As
part of a living tradition, TRADISH are interested
in exploring ways to connect the old and the new, the past and
the present, keeping the music fresh and alive.
Every
member of TRADISH has spent the best part of
their lives playing everything from small pub sessions to concert
and festival performances, giving TRADISH the ability to not only
satisfy the hardcore trad. crowd, but also to reach out to a wider
audience who might not otherwise listen to traditional music.
The
living body of music that is nowadays generally referred to throughout
the world as “Irish Traditional Music” has a long
and fascinating evolution. However, it’s sometimes forgotten
that the development of this tradition hasn’t been confined
to within the borders of Ireland, but owes a huge debt to musicians
either born outside Ireland, or born in Ireland and subsequently
emigrating to other parts of the world, taking their music and
their culture with them.
Whilst
collecting and writing the music for their new album “Beyond
the Borders”, TRADISH have tried to explore
this theme in different ways throughout the album. “Beyond
the Borders” celebrates the transformation of Irish traditional
music into the global phenomenon it is today.
Drawing
from the deep vaults of the last millennium to the infinite potential
of the new millennium, TRADISH would like to
take you on a musical journey through time.
