Madra Salach met whilst playing in different outfits on the city's indie scene and bonded over a shared love of the Irish traditional canon which led to them playing impromptu pub sessions. Taking inspiration from the growing experimental folk scene in Ireland, the group added members, instruments and electronic elements to emerge with their own compositions, which are at the same time strikingly modern and written with a voice that could have emerged at any point throughout the last century. 

Their January 26 debut EP It’s a Hell of an Age blended original songs with reimagined traditional material and reached No. 3 in Ireland and the UK Independent Albums Top 10. Now signed to Island Records, Madra Salach are building strong momentum through festival appearances, sold-out Ireland and UK headline tours and collaborations including upcoming album The Songs of Shane MacGowan out November 26 which includes Bruce Springsteen, Primal Scream, Lisa O’Neill among others.

14+ only. Under 16's must be accompanied by an adult. No refunds will be given for incorrectly booked tickets.

    Madra Salach are a six piece contemporary folk band from Dublin. Originally playing in various local outfits, their shared love of the Irish traditional canon led them to form a bond playing impromptu sessions in pubs. Taking inspiration from the growing Irish experimental folk scene, Madra Salach focuses on original writing and composition, utilising electronic equipment. These songs, while modern thematically, are written with a voice that could have emerged at any point throughout the last century.
