  • Bio

    Beoga’s 2009 album ‘The Incident’ has seen the supergroup continue to blaze a pioneering trail, rewarding fans with their fresh creative energy and seducing a diverse array of music lovers. The Incident is shortlisted for a GRAMMY award nomination for Best Contemporary World Music Album. “Riveting... the most exciting new traditional band to emerge from Ireland this century,” Wall Street Journal. “Simply thrilling, an auditory high-wire act without a net,” Irish Philadelphia. “Beoga are at the forefront of the Irish new wave,” Irish Music Magazine. .. .. .. Their distinctive sound is described by New York’s Irish Echo as “a heady, virtually head-spinning sonic blend, stamping Beoga as perhaps the most audacious Irish band rooted in trad today.” The Irish American News lauds the “energy, drive, intelligent creativity, wit and real musicianship” declaring, “this is the freshest take on the tradition,” and the Boston Globe ranks Beoga “as innovative as Celtic music mavericks Solas and Lunasa,” In short, Beoga have become one of the most popular and influential ensembles in modern Irish music. .. .. Beoga (Irish word for ‘lively’) are based in County Antrim, in the north of Ireland. The bedrock of their sound lies firmly within the Irish tradition. However, they are not afraid to incorporate other genres’ nuances into their music. From bluesy riffs to Astor Piazzola-style jazz, to a raunchy New Orleans jamboree vibe, their music always returns to a wonderfully bouncy traditional sound. The result is traditional, with a huge sense of fun and adventure and it all works - wonderfully well. The Irish Times states, “Individually talented and collectively inspired, (Beoga) speak a language called music with a fluency beloved of the best multi-linguists.” .. .. Beoga is world music, made in Ireland and the release of Beoga’s 2009 album ‘The Incident’ has seen the supergroup continue to blaze a pioneering trail, rewarding fans with their fresh creative energy and seducing a diverse array of music lovers. The string of accolades from the music industry say it best, “Beoga are at the forefront of the Irish new wave,” Irish Music Magazine concludes. “Simply thrilling, an auditory high-wire act without a net,” writes Irish Philadelphia. “Riveting,” says the Wall Street Journal. .. .. The band was drawn together in 2002 after ‘jamming’ in a ferocious session at the All-Ireland Fleadh. From the beginning Beoga was endowed with massive musical talent, featuring the twin dueling accordians of Damian McKee and multi-instrumentalist Seán Óg Graham, pianist Liam Bradley and four times All-Ireland bodhrán champion Eamon Murray. In 2005, the lineup was complete, with the addition of Niamh Dunne, one of Ireland’s premier young talents, on vocals and fiddle. .. .. In 2004, the band released their ground-breaking debut album 'a lovely madness', to critical and popular acclaim in Ireland, Europe and America. The repertoire of fresh self-penned tunes and inventive arrangements earned the album 9/10 in Ireland’s Hot Press music magazine and was one of the Top Trad/Folk Albums of the year. Irish Music Magazine declared Beoga to be a “phenomenon” and the group were nominated for the 2005 best traditional newcomer’s award. “This rhythm-oriented contemporary reworking of heritage is unbeatable,” wrote Philadelphia City Paper. .. .. The group’s second release, entitled ‘Mischief’, firmly catapulted Beoga into the upper stratum of trad bands from Ireland today. Receiving excellent reviews across the board, including a phenomenal 9.5/10 rating from Hot Press, ‘Mischief’ was deemed one of the top folk albums of 2007 at the Live Ireland Music Awards, the German Music Awards, and received honours in many notable publications including the Boston Globe, The Irish Echo, Dirty Linen Magazine, Folk Alley and Hot Press magazine. The Chicago American Times enthused, “This is a major major band to be reckoned with… super vocals, a terrific staccato beat to the rhythm, with a real sense of style and wit.” .. .. A series of TV and radio appearances followed fast and furious for the band, gaining notoriety for its charismatic rapport with audiences and the highly inventive, energetic performances. In September 2007, Beoga performed live with the BBC Orchestra to a television audience of millions as part of the prestigious ‘Last night of the Proms’. Major Celtic and Folk festival highlights have included Boston ICONS festival, North Texas Irish Festival, Kansas City, Milwaukee Irish Fest, Tonder, Dranouter, Open House festival in Belfast, Temple Bar Trad Fest in Dublin, the World Fleadh, Germany’s Irish Folk Festival tour, the Irish Unplugged tour of Holland, the Guinness Christmas Austria tour, Cambridge Folk Festival and Glasgow’s Celtic Connections. In March 2009, during their final performance at Houston International Festival, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee honoured Beoga with the Dr. Paul Zanowiak Award for Best New Artist, presenting a certificate of Congressional Recognition from the US House of Representatives. .. .. With their unique blend of inventive arrangements, virtuosi instrumental talents and beautiful vocals, Beoga’s popularity continues to flourish as they captivate audiences on a global scale. ...... ..Myspace Editor.... ..Pimp MySpace..

Hailed as “the most exciting new traditional band to emerge from Ireland this century” (Wall Street Journal), Beoga are blazing a pioneering trail in Irish music. The County Antrim based quintet features the unique twin duelling accordians of Seán Óg Graham and Damian McKee, four times All-Ireland bodhrán champion Eamon Murray, pianist Liam Bradley and Limerick singer and fiddler, Niamh Dunne. The bedrock of Beoga’s sound lies firmly within the Irish tradition. However, they are not afraid to incorporate other genres’ nuances into their music. From bluesy riffs to Astor Piazzola-style jazz, to a raunchy New Orleans jamboree vibe, their music always returns to a wonderfully bouncy traditional sound. The result is traditional, with a huge sense of fun and adventure and it all works - wonderfully well. With three critically acclaimed, award winning albums, it’s no surprise that Irish Music Magazine describe Beoga’s repertoire of fresh self-penned tunes and inventive arrangements as “genius”. The band’s 2009 album ‘The Incident’ made the shortlist for a Grammy nomination in the Best Contemporary World Music Album category. Beoga are at the forefront of the Irish new wave.
