An Evening In Conversation With TRÚ

In ancient Ulster the Trú were a trio of poet-musicians whose songs told the story of the future. When Zach Trouton, Dónal Kearney and Michael Mormech came together to refresh Irish traditional music with their songs and blended harmonies they took the name. This modern trio are a fascination to begin with combining Irish nationalist, Ulster-Scots and

British-Ukrainian heritages. Their debut album No Fixed Abode caused a stir, Clannad’s Moya Brennan declaring it “absolutely amazing”. Their new record Eternity Near builds on that again. Old traditional tunes sit alongside new songs in both English and Irish telling stories of who we are and might become. Tonight Steve Stockman will talk to Zac, Donal and Michael about their personal stories and then Mylie Brennan will delve into what the stories they sing are all about. Expect some sublime songs too.
