"Raw energy and a modern young twist" – Celtic Music Radio<\/p>\n
\u00c0irdan 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, \u00c0irdan\u2019s journey began in the heart of Edinburgh\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
\u00c0irdan 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.<\/p>\n
