D CD of the week and the first ever traditional music album to receive a 5 star review in the Irish Times, Fidil's new CD '3' has been described as "...a milestone in Irish Music!" and a "...timeless album and a truly essential addition to your collection".
All hailing from Donegal, what makes Fidil's achievement even more remarkable is the fact that they didn't use any conventional accompaniment such as Guitars, Bodhrans, Piano's etc. It is their diverse and groundbreaking use of fiddles coupled with the depth of lore and tunes of the Donegal fiddle tradition which make Fidil one of the most unique and entertaining ensembles in Irish Traditional Music.
Fidil's line-up is composed of three Donegal fiddle players; 2010 TG4 Young Musician of the Year Aidan O'Donnell; Ciarán Ó Maonaigh, a former TG4 Young Musician of the year and nephew of Altan's Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh; and Damien McGeehan whose unique ability to bring different sounds and technique's to the fiddle helps see Fidil go boldly where no Trad band has gone before.
Fidil were formed in 2008 when Ciarán Ó Maonaigh & Aidan O'Donnell released a duet CD of the same name to widespread crittical acclaim. They quickly morphed into a 3 piece and were awarded the Young Musicwide Award by Music Network in 2008.
Over this past year they have toured extensively, including New York & London.
