NUADA, was an important figure in Celtic mythology, an all powerful God in Irish Myth. The band (now a trio with the arrival of Ruth - vocals, hurdy gurdy and percussion) are proving that Nuada once again has an important Celtic role, not in mythology but in modern day music with their exceptional musical skills and live gigs. 

Here, the trio have written original pieces (influenced by chickens and horses!) as well as having arranged the more traditional pieces such as "Belle bergere" and "Hanter dro" to record what is essentially a rich, diverse and powerful, almost wall of sound, album. Listen and learn.
