Bua is magnificent both for what they are, and what they aren’t. At a time when Irish music seems to be pushing ever harder to blend with other sounds, Bua returns magnificently to the heart of the music I first fell in love with . . . before Riverdance, before Celtgrass, before people decided that Irish music had run out of places to go on its own and needed new partners.
Bua does not look backward though — it fearlessly explores the still-fresh places to explore in Irish music. Well done Bua!
