Research into the various melodies and lyrics that accompany these tunes and the historical integrity employed in documentation displays the respect for the traditions and culture that Na’Bodach share with their audience. However… The use of electric guitar, electric bagpipes, electric fiddle, electro-acoustic guitar and a pumped up bodhran, juxtaposed with a strong, four man vocal range, are insuring that a person at a Na’Bodach gig are treated to an experience in Celtic music they won’t soon forget. Larry Kirwan of Black47 fame has been moved to call Na’Bodach “sledgehammer Celtic” and “one of the best of the new bands.” Their critically acclaimed debut CD, “Knickers Down, Bottoms Up”, continues to sell well throughout North America, Europe and Japan as is their most recent release, “An Intelagent Design” Both albums have been recognized by “Just Plain Folks”, an independent music organization, as nomine
