About us
Dána, formerly known as Pholc. Celtic Music – Irish & Scottish Folk, based in Austria.
The five musicians of Dána convey the joy of traditional music with lovingly crafted arrangements of Irish and Scottish songs and tunes.
Warm and expressive male and female vocals tell delightfully silly as well as heart-wrenching tales passed down over countless generations on the British Isles. Flutes, whistles, fiddle, guitar, bodhrán and harp weave a colourful tapestry of sound. Meandering melodic lines converge to form dense textures that sweep through the room, inspiring the audience to dance, clap or tap their toes, then become as soft and intimate as a mother telling her child a bedtime story, sometimes mournful, sometimes playful and light-hearted.
The Gaelic word Dána means courageous and mischievous and is also the name of the Celtic mother goddess. For over eleven years, the band, then known as “Pholc”, performed at many different events.
