John Davidson, Shane Booth & Ros O’Meara bring together dynamic and contrasting instrumentation and voices. The group have an expansive acoustic soundscape blending guitars, fiddle, bouzouki, percussion and three part harmony arrangements (that often sounds like more) to create a folk styling that incorporates elements of music from the plains of Ireland to the mountains of Scotland and much farther a field both east and west. Soaring melody lines, dirgy, intense a capella vocals and complex rhythmic structures will have the blood pumping through even the coldest of auditoriums.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Three<\/p>\n

Jeremy Searle is a music critic who earned our respect many years ago.<\/p>\n

When Cua played their first ever English dates, he had enjoyed the first two albums so much that he was eager to see them live.<\/p>\n

Reviewing the gig for RNR magazine, he concluded:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two sets pass by much too quickly and the business done at the merchandise table is evidence of a new-favourite-band moment for many of the attendees.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a show that marked the arrival in England, of a major new talent, and, hopefully there will be many more to follow.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The morning after that gig, Warthog Promotions e-mailed us with thanks. They said:\u00a0\u201cThey are outstanding. We will happily tell others to go and see them when they get the opportunity\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Since issuing their superb Songs of The Hollow album in 2017, Cua have gone on to become a band that has gathered in more praise than most from all the best sections of the media.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Searle had earlier written at AmericanaUK:\u00a0\u201cThis Irish trio stands right at the forefront of contemporary cutting-edge folk and even that description sells it a little short.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Issuing a similar judgement for Acoustic magazine, Julian Piper had this to say:\u00a0\u201cAt its finest, music should confound and amaze the listener, and this trio from Ireland have the luck \u2013 and the ability \u2013 to be one of those outfits who can pull this off.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The trio had caused a sensation when they attracted a capacity crowd to their Celtic Connections show in Glasgow, just before the pandemic struck. It was the first event on the entire programme to become sold-out.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>","excerpt":"","slug":"cua-live-on-stage","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2025-01-17 19:30:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"01","day":"17","hour":"19","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2025-01-17 19:30:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"01","day":"17","hour":"19","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2025-01-17 19:30:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"01","day":"17","hour":"19","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2025-01-17 19:30:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"01","day":"17","hour":"19","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"Europe\/London","timezone_abbr":"GMT","cost":"\u00a315","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"\u00a3","currency_code":"gbp","currency_position":"prefix","values":["15"]},"website":"https:\/\/brookfield-knights.com\/contact\/","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Live Music","slug":"live-music","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":10,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"Music performed to an audience by musicians.

Having represented many great artists from 2004, when the pandemic swept in to spoil the party in 2020, we wound things down, went into enforced hibernation and kept busy on other areas of creativity, as well as keeping our sister PR operation ticking over sweetly.<\/p>\n

Having organised tours of the UK and Ireland, ranging from two to six weeks in duration, and provided world-class musicians for some of the biggest events including Celtic Connections, Cambridge Folk Festival, Underneath The Stars, Shetland Folk Festival,\u00a0 TradFest, Edinburgh Jazz & Blues festival, Earagail Arts Festival, HebCelt Festival,\u00a0T\u00f8nder and many more, it\u2019s good to be back.<\/em><\/p>\n

With a re-launch in 2022, we are pleased to once again be working with the venues and promoters who had become such a big part of our life, and are fully committed to providing artists we admire and recommend, as they start to re-build too.<\/em><\/p>\n

Full publicity back-up provided for every tour. We always let the media know in every region that something very special is heading their way.<\/em><\/p>\n
