After a 4-year break from touring and releasing music, Irish band Beoga share their innovative new album Phases, along with the playful official music video for their latest single “Tradfather.” Known for their fresh take on traditional Irish folk music, Beoga breaks new ground on their latest offering–drawing from classic Irish sounds and infusing them with modern excitement. Phases sees the band revisit their traditional roots and original sound, while continuing to explore unique takes on production and instrumentation.  


With an adventurous spirit and a passion for charting the road less travelled, Beoga have shown that Irish traditional music can take new directions. That world-facing potential was proven by the popularity of their collaborations “Galway Girl” and “Nancy Mulligan” with Ed Sheeran on his all-conquering ‘÷’ album. “Galway Girl” has been streamed over 1.4 billion times on Spotify alone. The band’s appearance in Sheeran’s emotional and reflective music video “Old Phone” marks their most recent collaboration, as they played with him at his Old Phone pop up gig in Ipswich, MA. They also played alongside SheeranShaboozey and Alex Warren at his Old Phone Pop Up at weekend two of Coachella.

 

Phases arrives at a time when Beoga feel hugely excited by the music they are making as a 5-piece band. After several years of working on their own individual musical projects, they are energized to be back as Beoga. “We keep coming back to each other,” laughs Eamon Murray of the band. “It was fantastic that we all took some time to work on other projects, but ultimately we are like homing pigeons and are drawn back to Beoga; it’s pretty special.”

Today, they also share the official music video for their latest single “Tradfather,” where they poke fun at their naysayers in a satirical reenactment of an infamous gig. Of the video, the band said, "This video was serious craic to make.  We took over St. Fursa’s Community Hall in Headford, Co. Galway for the day to recreate a Beoga gig where the infamous ‘Trad police’ arrive with disapproval as their sole aim.  The “Tradfather” story is a recreation of a few interactions we’ve had over the years with people who believe traditional music shouldn’t ever evolve. Any resemblance to real persons, past or present, is purely coincidental! The actors Bryan Quinn and Michele Moran absolutely nailed it with the cold, aloof presence.  Wait for the dramatic u-turn.  We could have made a second video with the outtakes from the final scene, they’re so funny and amazing at their craft.”
