Welcome to a new episode of Music At Maddens Podcast with me, Lynette Fay.
This week we welcome Trú to the podcast.
This week in the snug, Lynette sits down with Trú
A boundary-breaking vocal trio bringing new life to Ulster song through harmony, heart, and fearless storytelling.
Formed out of Anúna, their sound blends choral precision with rock texture and emotional weight, guided by one question: why should this song be sung today?
They trace their journey from learning to breathe as one voice to finding their “fresh ears” third member whose outsider perspective became their compass, less about reverence for the canon, more about making the old pulse again.
We talk about learning Irish as adults and the shock of a language that suddenly fits, cultural agency that says inheritance isn’t the only passport, and writing “The Swan,” a spare, devastating original shaped by a Basque lullaby and the ache of losing a parent.
From Newry ballads and aisling poetry to Scottish walking songs, from fundraising for Ukraine to dedicating “Rebel Song” to Palestine, Trú’s music turns heritage into something living, political, and deeply human.
If you love Irish song, harmony that hits the spine, and stories that ask hard questions of tradition, this one will stay with you.
Enjoy!
New episodes every Monday.
