Cosmic Joe is the title track from Àirdan’s highly anticipated debut album “Cosmic”. This crowd favourite is Àirdan at full throttle: two original reels packed with energy that capture the spirit of the band’s dynamic trad sound.
Lively, heartfelt, and brimming with originality, Cosmic is a celebration of tradition, creativity and new musical horizons. The album weaves together traditional Scottish, Irish, and Swedish tunes with dynamic original compositions and inspiring works by contemporary composers, blending creative arrangements with stunning melodies. In Cosmic, Àirdan captures the spirit of a new generation embracing tradition, while simultaneously charting their own musical constellation. Cosmic released on all platforms on 30th May 2025.
Produced by the acclaimed Anna Massie, Cosmic was recorded and mixed at Gran’s House by Angus Lyon and Chris Waite, and mastered by Sam Proctor at Lismore Mastering.
"Raw energy and a modern young twist" – Celtic Music Radio
Àirdan are a rising voice in the world of Scottish traditional music. Their high energy grooves and dynamic arrangements see melodies and riffs juggled between fiddle (Paul Sinclair), accordion (Coll Williamson), guitar (David Lennon), and drums (Ewa Adamiec). Formed in 2021, Àirdan’s journey began in the heart of Edinburgh’s thriving live music and session scene, where their shared passion for traditional music – and for pushing its boundaries – brought them together. Their sound is shaped by the acoustic energy of late night Celtic sessions, enriched by influences from travels to far flung corners of the globe.
Àirdan have already made their mark with performances at iconic festivals including Eden Festival, Moniaive Folk Festival, and Knockengorroch Festival, and were chosen as a "Highly Recommended" act at Celtic Connections' Danny Kyle Open Stage. In 2024, they celebrated a sold out run at the Acoustic Music Centre as part of the Edinburgh Fringe.
