A Leap Of Faith

Hailing from counties Monaghan and Cavan, Élan are a fresh, off-the-block Irish band who, as individuals, have been playing together for years. Having formed back in the summer of 2014, this 3-piece, made up of Gráinne Smith (button accordion), Andrew Jackson (fiddle) and Cillian McCabe (guitar), has already supported the likes of Goitse, Breaking Trad and Mairtin O'Connor, Zoë Conway and Donal Lunny. With their all-embracing musical appetite and high octane spirit, this up and coming band harbours an eclectic sound that earns them their own spot in this exciting generation of modern trad bands. Fresh from a residency at Raglan Road Orlando this summer, there is a lot still to come from this young outfit!
