Eidir was an: acoustic duo with a big sound.
Derek Byrne sings in Irish, English and drum speak, while playing rhythm and lead on five sting banjo. Jim Wirt sings and plays a vast array of percussion, he fills the base and percussion roles with a very melodic feel.
Original material makes up the bulk of their set list. They chant in gaelic play jigs and reels and cover ancient Irish favorites with a unique twist. Most shows feature Irish dancing with special guests. Eidir is traditional yet unpredictable. Intimate yet electric Irish and International Eidir is Irish for between.
