A trad tune with a twist, key changes and time changes. It's all happening in this newest release from Irish group Strings & Things as they show off their first single of many in 2025

 

Taking the traditional ethos, and adding their own unique sound. That's been the Strings & Things way and it's a skill they are perfecting as time marches forward.

Ringing in the tune is the banjo, a keystone in Irish music. Met by the thundering sound of the Cajon you are stuck between wanting to listen and wanting to get up and dance.

 

As the tune progresses, the breaks in traditions start to become apparent. Bent banjo strings and bass lines akin to those you would find in dance music,This track has something for everyone in it

 

At the click of a finger, the track grinds to a halt and simultaneously opens up into a lovely air, reminiscent of the  old Irish tunes played in pub corners and living rooms in Ireland for centuries.. It catches your attention and brings you along for the journey all the way to the end of track, leaving you wanting to hear what they have to follow.

 

The lads at Strings & Things have been working tirelessly on new music for you all in 2025 and this is just the start of it.
