Trá Pháidín

An enigmatic but unstoppable force in independent Irish music, the experimental, many-headed ensemble released their third album, the John ‘Spud’ Murphy-mixed An 424 – named after a Co. Galway bus route – last year. Offering up an utterly compelling blend of jazz, folk, art-rock and polished chaos, the group have clocked up support slots for the legendary likes of Squid, Katie Kim and John Francis Flynn.

Hear: An 424 on Bandcamp.
