Tír Nan Og

The term Tír Nan Og (or Tir Na nOg) comes from Gaelic. It is the name for the “land of eternal youth”; a kind of Irish heaven. A fountain of youth gave the country its name. Otherwise you can also find the fairies and elves of Ireland there. B. the well-known Leprechaun and many others. Ö also originally comes from there.

The sextet has burned down many an international stage and regularly warms up the audience with creative Irish folk rock. The eternally young at heart from Bavaria have developed their very own sound over the last few years, which sometimes invites you to sing along and dance, sometimes is rocky and dark and sometimes makes you think.

You can’t go past Tír Nan Og for years, they were seen at the Elfia Festival (NL), Keltfest (NL), Shamrock Castle Festival (DE), Glühmet Festival (DE), Feuertanz Festival (DE), Festival Mediaval (DE), Folkfield Festival (DE), Hörnerfest (DE), Folk am Neckar (DE), Irish Night Kaprun (AT), Highlandgames Abtwil (CH), Triskell Festival (ITA) and on support tours with O’Reillys and the Paddyhats and Fiddler’s Green.

Tír Nan Og sing about “Sing, Ye Bastards!” on their sixth album. of 2020, love, life, death and copious amounts of alcohol – all traditional Irish themes and yet Sing, Ye Bastards! anything but a traditional Irish folk album.

“This album was created in difficult times and that is precisely why we were able to particularly empathize with the Irish attitude to life, sticking together despite difficult times and making the best of it.” (Volker)

The sextet from Bavaria, Germsny, has developed its very own sound over the last few years, which sometimes invites you to sing along and dance, sometimes is rocky and dark and sometimes makes you think. The new album is the consistent further development of this sound and shows that the band has become more mature, but not a bit more boring.

From the beery lightness of Slainte to the fear and desperation that characterize Fear Gorta, Tir Nan Og also show an amazing emotional and musical spectrum on the new album. “Sing, Ye Bastards!” Is modern, rocking Irish folk that inspires.

“Sing, Ye Bastards!” shows that celebrating the Irish way is not just about drinking songs. The fight for this album was worth it. We are proud of the diverse sound and the diverse topics.” (Andi)
