They 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 to create a folk styling that incorporates elements of music from the plains of Ireland to the mountains of Scotland and much farther afield both east and west.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cua truly pride themselves on their diversity, with subtle nods to many genres, whilst keeping a folk, world, roots and traditional line throughout. All members are multi-instrumentalists and are inspired by many aspects of the musical spectrum including roots, blues, gospel, jazz fusion, traditional, bluegrass and more. Their approach to music is inspired by the history, landscape and peoples of the Atlantic areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The band have been recognised on a European and national level following their first two successful studio releases and are receiving national and local radio airplay across the UK, Europe and America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>\u201cAn unclassifiable band that weave together different musics into something that is their own, crackling with life, energy and spark.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>&#8211;\u00a0Marc Higgins &#8211; Fatea Records\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tickets cost \u00a315 and are on sale now at:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/andculture.org.uk\/whats-on\/music-chamber-cua\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/andculture.org.uk\/whats-on\/music-chamber-cua&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1746085840680000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1l1NEvDdwBpRl4VQLWnPyW\">Music in the Chamber: Cua | AND Culture<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next concert in the series of Music in the Chamber events at Bangor Castle, is taking place on Friday 16 May and will feature the Irish folk group\u00a0Cua.
