Elandir is a band from Switzerland. They are all Swiss, apart from their new piper who's Irish. "Do You Know Eddy Kelly?" is their first recording. They aren't much know outside of Switzerland yet, but they are working their way to the front scene of ITM in the region (they have played the first part of a concert of Lunasa, and soon, of Eileen Ivers).
The music they play has evolved in good way (excellent song arrangements, probably influenced by Dervish ) since this recording and I think it's sounding more and more irish ;) ! (of course there's still a bit of accent when they sing, it's hard to get completely rid of that).
