about

Preab Meadar is a unique collaboration of traditional Irish fiddle and voice by two very talented and respected performers.

A project of traditional Irish music innovators, Daire Ó Breacáin and Lorcán Mac Mathúna, which is inspired by metrical techniques of Old Irish Poetry, it uses complex alliterative patterns of syllabic Gaelic poetry of the mediaeval period as a basis for original compound compositions with complex layered rhythms.

In an explorative compositional process that took four years, Daire and Lorcán have redefined the terms for how the fiddle can combine with the voice in Irish music. Inspired by oral dance meters, medieval Irish poetry and a massive chain dance by the people of New Ross on the building of the town’s walls; they have coined new possibilities of rhythm and harmony in the partnership of voice and fiddle.

Their duet of voice and fiddle is, exciting, unexpected and refreshing. This is duet playing at its best.
