"Slán" (pronounced: "slawn")
is the Irish word for "Healthy" or "safe" and and is used to wish a safe
journey and healthy
return and is also used as
a goodbye underneath a letter (email).
The band Slán was founded in
2004 in Bergen op Zoom and we like playing Irish-, English-, Scottish-
and Breton folkmusic. We are trying to get a good mixture of vocal and
instrumental tunes in our playlist and we're always looking for an
original approach to the music.
Slán has played at several
festivals during the past years such as The Celtic Festival in Vlaardingen,
The Ireland at the Sea
Festival in Scheveningen
and the Celtic Festival in Hank. In folkclubs like "The Lantaern" in
Zevenaar, Folkclub Twente and Folkclub Brielle. In the fall of 2007 we
produced our first CD "South West" which was very well received. The song "Will you go to Flanders?" was voted third in Marc Gunn's
"Celtic Top 5". His Irish and Celtic Music Podcast has a worldwide 30.000
to 40.000 downloads every
episode.
