Current Bands/Artists that Sing as Gaelige

[thejuice]

Was just listening to a new band there called Corr Mhóna, they've just a few demo's I think but all their songs are as Gaelige. Are there many other new(ish even) groups on the go who are writing their own material in the native tongue?

Go raibh maith agaibh.

[Denn Forever]

John Spillane can but don't know if he has much on record.  Kila as well.

You not got BBC 1 Denn? 

[MR E]

The Coranas sign as Gaelic was at their concert once done a couple of songs in it. Intach Maith.

Cheers lads, keep em coming, I have John Spillanes stuff already, I'd forgotten about him.

[Eoghan Mag]

I'm hoping to record a young singer on Tuesday who has written 3 songs as Gaeilge. I've heard one of her Irish songs already and it is quite good. They will only be Demo recordings however and I hope at some stage soon she will get the songs properly produced and recorded.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Christy Moore had two CDs as Gaeilge: Éist agus  Éist Arís.

And, Na Casaidigh (originally from Gaoth Dobhair, Donegal), all their stuff is as Gaeilge:     
    * Na Casaidigh (1980)
    * Fead an Iolair (1984)
    * The Cassidys Live (1985)
    * 1691 (1991)
    * Off to Philadelphia (1996)
    * Óró na Casaidigh (1997)
    * Singing From Memory (1998)
    * The Cassidys-Na Casaidigh (2001)

Thanks Feár but Na Casaidigh and Christy are really well established at this stage now, I'm looking more for, lets say artists of less than 10 years on the go, and i'd be really interested if there are any that would be outside the genre of folk.

While not exactly what I'm looking for, here's just an example of Gaelige being used in a non-folk, trad context.

Have you heard Kila with the O'Snodaigh brothers.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Understand juice.

Here's a recent one from Dónal Lunny, but not what you might think at first -- it's played and sung almost entirely by the locals of Rannafast in Donegal.

Ceol Cheann Dubhrann

And another fairly recent one (2008) from Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh (Altan), her first and only solo album to date:

I don't remember either of those 2 Christy Moore albums.  When were they released and was it European or US release only or what?

You ever heard of a Belfast band called Bréag?  They do a lot of stuff through Gaeilge, or they did the last time I saw them

RE: Ballad maker, is that last one not called Níl na Lá? Never heard it called Tá na Lá before. Small point I know.
