The Auld Triangle
Our latest release is a single cover of 'The Auld Triangle'. We hope you like our take on this one!
During our March 2024 tour of the UK we felt we needed to do something in remembrance of the late, great Shane MacGowan. Each of us having performed with well-known Pogues tribute act Pogueology (endorsed by Shane himself) there is an element of closeness to the music and need of a goodbye and thank you, in our intentionally sombre or even hymn-like version of the song.
Never initially intending for recording, we were taken aback by how well the song was received. Self-professed fans of Shane, The Pogues, The Dubliners and CUA alike, asking for which of our CD's had the track.
And so, with those requests on our mind, we decided to put down as close to our live tribute as we could. Always dedicated to himself, Dick Shannon and Brendan Behan

The release of cua’s new album is something very positive, born out of the lockdown. It is a departure from their traditional recording settings and moving to remote recording where necessary. Out of this period of time they persevered and continued writing and recording.The new album, Oh Sun Shine Down, has a very spiritual line running through it, in the sense of all the loss we have experienced over the last few years and what there may be to be hopeful for in the coming years.
This fourth recorded album from cua is their most expansive from an instrumentation point of view. As everyone’s world became more limited physically, they decided to have less limits internally with their music. They just did what they felt was right and what kept them sane. They drew inspiration from the little big things, most of which revolve around the sun, hence the album title, Oh Sun Shine Down - again going back to the phases and cycles they experienced every day and beyond.
