Show Notes
Welcome to another episode of Music at Madden’s Podcast with Lynette Fay.
This week, I’m joined by the brilliant Tulua — a group whose journey began through Comhaltas and their shared experience in Siansa, before evolving into one of the most exciting contemporary trad acts around.
We chat about how they first came together, the influence of their roots in Wexford and Donegal, and the journey behind their latest album. The group share insights into their song selection, how their sound continues to grow and evolve, and what it means to shape traditional music in a modern context.
There’s also a lovely connection back to Madden’s Bar, along with some thoughtful advice for young performers coming up through Comhaltas and finding their own path in music.
A warm, honest, and uplifting conversation filled with music, stories, and plenty of heart.
