It is rare to find a group of singers and musicians who combine strong backgrounds in Irish traditional, folk and contemporary music with an a capella singing ability and style developed from various musical backgrounds

Drawing on vocal talent from Mayo on the west coast of Ireland, Coda are seven singers who started developing their own approach to vocal harmonies several years ago.

Their first album ‘mouthmusic’ released in 2013 was produced by Maurice Lennon. 

Coda have performed at home and abroad at numerous music festivals and venues. These have included ‘Temple Bar Tradfest’ and ‘The Electric Picnic’.

They have also performed on many TV and Radio shows on RTE and TG4 in Ireland. Their music has also been used on TV and movie soundtracks.

Coda released their second album ‘Train of Spirits’ in 2017.

The album was produced by the legendary Dónal Lunny. 

The album contains twelve tracks of original and contemporary folk and traditional songs, all superbly arranged by Coda and produced by Dónal Lunny.

More recently, Coda launched an album of ‘O’Carolan in Song’. The wonderful harper Freda Hatton joined Coda for the live recording of the album in The Valley House, Achill. The project was originally commissioned for the Achill Harp Festival 2021.

A Coda performance is rare, if not unique – seven singers whose harmonies blend beautifully topped off with multi-instrumentation as part of the package.

“I cannot state too strongly how wonderful I think these guys are. I’ve got both their albums now and I think they’re fabulous”; Mike Harding Folk Show
