Beoga: A Lovely Madness
Beoga is Irish for lively, which perfectly describes this five-piece traditional band based in County Antrim, Ireland. Twin dueling accordions, bodhran, and piano give them a unique sound; their bouncy, crowd-pleasing music includes nuances from other genres (blues, jazz, New Orleans). The Irish Echo dubbed them “perhaps the most audacious band rooted in trad today.“ Their critically acclaimed debut recording includes 11 irresistible tunes: “Prelude Polka,“ “Exploding Bow,“ “Hello Again,“ and “A Lovely Madness.“ One CD.
