“…a trio of top Scottish musicians with considerable pedigrees”.
The Living Tradition Magazine
March 2009
Hailing from central Scotland, Càirdeas (pronounced car-dis) are a lively, entertaining and highly versatile trio performing Scottish folk music with personality, fun and an unforgettable stage persona! From traditional and contemporary Scottish songs to haunting melodies and electrifying high-speed reels, their music revolves around powerful vocals, traditional melodies and driving rhythmic accompaniment. The success of Càirdeas both U.K. and worldwide as a respected and accomplished folk band is marked throughout 2009 by a number of high-profile festival appearances, national radio shows and a documentary for German television, filmed onboard the Royal Scotsman. Càirdeas are on the rise in Europe throughout 2009 with appearances at some notable events including the renowned Skagen festival in Denmark, no less than three tours of Switzerland and over twenty performances onboard the world-famous train, “The Royal Scotsman”. Outwith their solo dates and other band work throughout Scotland, the trio of Càirdeas can normally be found playing at British embassies, festivals and Scottish celebrations all over the world. Oh, and just incase you wondered, Càirdeas means ‘friendship‘ and ‘kinship‘ in Scottish Gaelic!
