Amaidí

Amaidí play folk with the volume turned up. The Brisbane outfit draws on Scottish, Irish and Australian music and pushes it along with heavy rhythm, so the tunes come out wild and fast rather than gentle. The musicianship is tight, and every tune is aimed at getting guests up out of their seats. That energy makes them a strong match for a St Patrick's Day celebration or a Celtic-themed party, where a stomping folk band suits the room better than chart covers.
