Taradiddle is mostly about the singing: voices raised in carefully crafted harmony, sometimes acapella, sometimes accompanied by guitars, mandolas and other noisemakers. The repertoire reflects great roots music traditions from both sides of the Atlantic but also includes unexpected acoustic takes on some overlooked pop standards (or, it could be argued, sub-standards). There are also some original compositions (nothing sub-standard there!).

At a Taradiddle performance, you might laugh out loud, sing along, shed a tear or even think (but not too much – we promise). We’re quite sure that you’ll leave the concert in better spirits than you were in when you arrived. That’s our superpower.

Taradiddle present a perfect balance of international, traditional and contemporary songs with intelligent, skilful ease and a blend of voices made in heaven. Taradiddle are a delight!… Rick Kemp, folk-rock legend (Steeleye Span, Michael Chapman)
