Cuas
In early 2023, Méabh Ní Bheaglaoich (accordion, vocals), Nicole Ní Dhubhshláine (concertina, flute), Niamh Varian-Barry (fiddle, viola, vocals), and Kyle Macaulay (guitar, bouzouki) converged to establish Cuas, a collective dedicated to honouring and performing the rich musical traditions of West Kerry. Inspired by the poignant melodies and lively dance heritage of the region, the group places great emphasis on the profound connection between audience and artist during their performances. Cuas is poised to strengthen this bond as they embark on recording their inaugural album in September ’23, with a live audience in Corca Dhuibhne. Expect a vibrant fusion of invigorating polkas and slides, alongside introspective original compositions and traditional songs, showcasing the exceptional talent of four of Ireland’s most promising young musicians.
