Na Casaidigh are also known as The Cassidys.

Na Casaidigh or The Cassidys in English is a Irish traditional group. They have been based in Dublin for many years, but they originally hail from Gweedore, County Donegal. The group consists of brothers Aongus, Seathrún, Ciarán, Fionntán, Feargus, and Odhrán.

Their lyrics are mostly in Gaelic. They have performed classic Irish songs, such as "Bó na Leathadhairce", "Báidín Fheilimí", "Peigí Leitir Móir" and "Beidh Aonach Amárach". They have added a rock-twist to their music in recent years.
