Garadice

Band

Garadice was born out of the Leitrim Equation Programme, a Leitrim Co. Council residency initiative focused on celebrating, promoting, and developing Leitrim artists. Named after a scenic area in South Leitrim and consisting of four artists with strong Leitrim roots, the band was described as an ‘embryonic supergroup’ by Alex Monaghan (Folkworld) following the release of their self-titled debut album in 2018.

Their second Album ‘Sanctuary’ was released to high acclaim in September 2023 and the group were honoured with a nomination in the ‘best folk group’ category at the 2024 RTÉ folk awards. Much of the repertoire on these recordings is from historic and recent sources connected to Co. Leitrim.
