cua - Kings and Queens

Taken from the 2017 album, 'songs of the hollow,' the video for Kings and Queens is set in the beautiful Co. Laois in the middle of Ireland. A song of rebellion and unfortunate outcomes. When asked to choose a piece to shoot in the awe inspiring and ancient grounds of The Rock of Dunamase Castle, the band spent little time deciding on 'Kings and Queens'. Not only does the music conjure up images of a medieval court but the lyrics remind us of the ongoing repetition of history. The greed of the rich and powerful, supported by the scraps that they throw to those who survive. A modern day folk revival that echoes the anti war sentiments of many songs and stories that have gone before and will come again in the hope that one day they will be heard. CCR's 'Fortunate Son' springs to mind. The violence captured through the cannonball hole damage and collapse in the castle ruins is afforded no escape in the song lyrics nor is the ill-gotten decadence in the beautifully sustained Heywood Gardens. Why is it, in every revolution, the people who need help the most suffer the most whilst those in power do nothing. Taken from the 2017 album Songs of the Hollow.

The roots of this music spread wide, anchoring cua like a colossal tree giving them a strength a rigor and a real presence. Coastal Music looks to the horizon and is music without borders, traditional folk, jazz, classical music American, Roots music whatever it is, it is a vital music." Marc Higgins, Northern Sky Magazine "We’ve run music in Kirkcaldy for nearly 30 years and this is one of the finest bands we’ve heard. "Original and with superb harmony singing and instruments they bring a BIG wall of beautiful sound. "They envelope you in a wave of harmony and powerful voices and instruments. "They are truly wonderful. "We’ve got club members reeling at their magnificence! Do not miss this gig." Fiona Forbes, Kirkcaldy Acoustic Music Club "The point about anything that’s truly ‘different’ is finding that moment when unusual becomes singular rather than strange. The latest album from decidedly different band, cua (in addition to being atypical they’re averse to capital letters) is unlike anything else, indeed it’s reasonable to describe ‘songs of the hollow’ as unique. The instrumental blend is not that radical ... fiddle, guitar, bouzouki ... however the dynamic delivery of those instruments, minutiae of melody, arrangements and three-part harmonies are uncompromising and innovative. There’s obvious folk music styling, beyond that is a mix of influence that interlaces, separates and coalesces to such an extent that you keep hearing snippets of genres from traditional to innovative, moving at such a pace it’s almost impossible to pin down. The more you listen the more you hear ... the roots of heritage, explosions of jazz with bluesy overtones, Eastern Europe mixed with Americana, free-ranging snippets of avant garde, Irish tradition from both sides of the Atlantic, acapella ... there’s a maelstrom of input. From the moment ‘Atlantic Cross’ opens the exceptional mix manifests itself, expands with ‘The Hollow Man’ and further intrigues with the acidic lyrics of ‘The Other Man’, before ‘Chest’s Final Beat’ and the rabid ‘Black Dog’ have you involved in this music. There are 15 tracks on the album each distinctive, different and equally impressive. The album is ‘songs of the hollow’ and cua are John Davidson (fiddle, percussion, vocals) Shane Booth (guitar vocals) and Ros O’Meara (bouzouki, guitar, percussion, vocals) ... and you should look out for both." Website: www.cuamusic.com Review: Tim Carroll [folkwords.com] cua have spent the time of lock-down continuing to record remotely and have just released their third track from their upcoming album. The new song is entitled No Sequel (18th Oct 2021), following in the footsteps of The Guiser's Fancy (31st Oct 2020) & Sunrise (22nd Jan 2021) Previous releases have been their album, In Flight Off The Islands, in 2019 following hot on the footsteps of 2017’s epic Songs Of The Hollow, again to critical acclaim. The group have an expansive acoustic soundtrack blending guitars, fiddle, bouzouki, percussion and 3 part harmony arrangements to create a world music folk styling that the group call Atlantean.
