Slán was founded in 2004 and performs with five enthusiastic musicians with very different ages. Although the repertoire mainly consists of Irish tunes, they also like to play Scottish/ Northumbrian and Breton music. Slán tries to combine existing or self written music into an original mixture of Celtic music!
Apart from the traditional instruments such as tin whistles and bagpipes they use an electronic drumkit, keyboard and electric violin.
Slán has a varied setlist with "sensitive songs" and "sparkling instrumentals" so that they feel either at home on stage or in the pub.
Slán performed during the international "Celtic Festival" at Vlaardingen in 2007, the "Blommelove Festival" at Roosendaal and the 2008 "Ireland at the Sea Festival" at Scheveningen. This year they will be back at the "Celtic Festival" Vlaardingen again.
At the fall of 2007 their first CD "South West" was produced and is doing very well so far.
Slán hopes to welcome you at one of their future gigs!
