CUA

Blending guitars, fiddle, bouzouki, percussion and three part harmony arrangements, from the plains of Ireland to the mountains of Scotland and much farther afield, cua will have the blood pumping through even the coldest of auditoriums. Soaring melody lines, dirgy, intense acapella vocals and complex rhythmic structures, the cua live experience has been compared to contemporaries such as Lau and Lankum as well as to such greats as Planxty and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. In the last few years cua have played countless shows in Ireland, toured to Holland and France and completed seven UK tours all to critical acclaim. “An unclassifiable band that weave together different musics into something that is their own, crackling with life, energy and spark.”
