Líadan. Seisear ban ceolmhar, cumasach. Ag éisteacht le ‘Casadh na Taoide’, is léir an méid ama agus oibre a chuir na mná óga, ábalta seo isteach ina gcuid ceoil agus ina gcuid cóiriúchán. Tá cuid mhór scagaidh, smaointe agus turgnamh déanta leis an dá rian déag seo a thabhairt chun críche! Molaim iad ar an mheascán ghalánta d’amhráin agus ceol rince, idir shean agus nuachumtha atá fite fuaite acu go healaíonta le cur os comhair an phobail ar an dlúthdhiosca seo. Tá tuigbheáil dhomhain ag an seisear seo ar cheol, agus cruthú air sin an méid eolais agus taighde atá le fáil ins na nótaí cúlra a théann le hachan rian. Tagann an focal banúlacht chugam dá mhéad dá n-éistim le ‘Casadh na Taoide’ … ceiliúradh ar cheol mhná na hÉireann, ceol le snas, míneadas agus neart. Molaim go deo sibh … Síle, Valerie, Deirdre, Elaine, Claire agus Catherine. Tá bhur ré tagtha, tá an taoide libh … seolaigí!

Kevin Crawford

‘Casadh na Taoide’ is a truly outstanding recording from Líadan, a group who have firmly established themselves on this their 2nd album as a genuine force to be reckoned with. Well chosen and well crafted sets of tunes perfectly showcase Líadan’s instrumental supremacy culminating in a sound that is both refreshingly new yet at the same time respectful of the tradition in which these six girls are so obviously steeped in. Rarely have I heard such exquisite and heartfelt vocal gems as those found on ‘Casadh na Taoide’. Individually they deliver standout vocal performances that are further enriched by their beautifully ethereal and almost sibling sounding harmonies reminiscent of an early Clannad or Skara Brae. Enough said, buy it and delight in it as much as I have.’
