A traditional band with a truly worldwide reach, Téada has appeared as a frequent headliner at major
music festivals throughout the US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Africa, Russia, the Middle East and
Australia. Highlights include a 30,000–capacity stadium concert in Brittany, along with performances
at Penang World Music Festival in Malaysia, Edmonton Folk Festival in Canada, Harare International
Festival of the Arts in Zimbabwe, and Rainforest World Music Festival in Borneo. In 2014, the band
performed to 40,000 people during an extensive 7–week tour of Japan / Taiwan, and continue to have
a strong touring presence in the United States, where Téada has toured actively since 2001.
Continuing to grow in vision and popularity, Téada welcomed a sixth member to the line–up in
legendary West Kerry singer and accordionist Séamus Begley, winner of 2013 TG4 Traditional
Singer of the Year. Spring 2022 will bring the release of the band’s new album on the Gael Linn
label, featuring the brilliant vocals of Begley along with the band’s customary reenergising of rare
tunes from the tradition.
