| The Band |
 Elandir means Ireland. A land steeped in celtic culture, wild beauty and of course irish traditional music. This is the music of Elandir, a band described as the most exciting irish music group in Switzerland. Formed in Neuchâtel in 1999, Elandir are six musicians, five of them native Swiss and one from Ireland. Their music is drawn from the great well of the irish music tradition, augmented by beautiful songs and original compositions all played with great sensitivity, creativity and respect for the roots of this great music. The band use acoustic instruments (uilleann pipes, fiddle, flute, guitar, irish bouzouki and bodhràn). Elandir have played on the same stage as music legends Lúnasa, Deaf Shepherd, Kila and many more. They have also performed at such great venues as Guinness Irish Festival Veysonnaz, Irish Festival Tesserete, Celtic Festival Corbeyrier, Irish Folk Festival Basel, Case à Chocs Neuchâtel, Kammgarn Schaffhausen, Kulturmühle BE, Bikini Test Neuchâtel as well as France and Ireland, from concert halls to private events. After a demo CD made in 2003, the band has released in October 2005 his first album “Rolling Harbour” that confirms a raising talent. See Elandir soon at a venue near you... |
