A NEW CELTIC SOUND FROM ITALY
Bards From Yesterday is a storming young folk rock band which, winking at the new trends of Scottish and Irish New Trad, is considered as one of the most prepared bands on the Italian scene.
Well-known for their sound that proudly fuse trad with bass and drums in a tight, fast playing and huge sound,– yet all the while with the pipes and flute melody at the forefront – the Italian five-piece have brought their massive festive energy to stages in many corners of the folk scene.
After the 2022 presentation tour of their first album "(EP)demia", which led the band to collect numerous openings to the biggest names in folk music in the last year alone (The Dublin Legends, Dervish, Plantec, Rapalje, O'Reilly's & Paddyhats, etc.) on as much prestigious stages (Festival Les Roches Celtiques (FR), Eging Am See (DE), Montelago Celtic Festival, Celtica Valle D'Aosta, Abruzzo Irish Festival, Mutina Boica, Claddagh Fest, etc.) they’ve been back at work to record their debut LP "Many Miles From Land", recorded at Crono Sound Factory by Maurizio Cardullo (Folkstone).
Composed of ten tracks, many of which are original compositions by the band, the album reflect a modern style both in the composition of tunes, which are inspired by the style of Lùnasa, Flook, etc., and in the arrangement which constantly seeks new forms and structures in other musical genres to maximize the music's potential.
This operation has been assisted in the artistic production by Jacopo Ventura (Gadan, Lyradanz, Folkamiseria) and sees the exceptional participation of Irish artists such as Jason O'Rourke and Ciara Maguire.
