Garadice
Garadice are one of Ireland’s most distinctive traditional ensembles, bringing together four musicians with deep roots in County Leitrim: Eleanor Shanley on vocals, Pádraig McGovern on uilleann pipes and whistles, Dave Sheridan on flute, accordion and keyboards, and John McCartin on guitar. The group grew out of the Leitrim Equation programme, a Leitrim County Council residency created to celebrate and develop the county’s musical tradition, and takes its name from the Garadice area of Leitrim.
Their music combines finely wrought instrumental playing with Shanley’s unmistakable, expressive voice, moving naturally between traditional songs, newly composed material and powerful arrangements of older repertoire. Garadice released their self-titled debut album in 2018, followed by Sanctuary in 2023, further establishing their reputation for thoughtful, richly textured traditional music.
