Flying Toads re a multi-instrumental band playing inventive arrangements of Irish music. They originally met through playing in some of the excellent Irish sessions in the UK and Ireland and share a deep respect for traditional Irish music. Being a four piece band and each playing several instruments, the Toads focus on arrangements that explore the best blending of sounds and dynamics, as well as choosing tunes and songs that are exciting to listen to. Their songs range from well-known lively standards, to moving lyrical ballads. Their tunes are all taken from the Irish tradition. Their extensive repertoire of reels, jigs, polkas, hornpipes and airs ranges from fast and furious tunes for dancing, to haunting Celtic melodies to make you cry into your Guinness!
