A fresh and energetic sound of traditional Irish music, Tulua have been deeply exploring music and songs of their local area and other parts of Ireland, bringing the audience with them on a captivating journey of songs about love, tunes about life and everything in between. Their rooted passion for playing music has evolved together from a young age, and the four of them now wholeheartedly explore the possibilities with music and songs to create a performance unique to them.
They are now releasing and touring their second album around Ireland, and invite you for a special concert of music and songs as they share this new music.

They were official showcase artists at the 2025 Folk Alliance International Conference in Montreal, have been part of many renowned festivals and projects throughout their time (Phil Murphy Weekend, Stan Rogers Festival Canada, Milwaukee Irish Fest USA, Lorient Festival France, National Celtic Folk Festival Australia, Creative Ireland Projects and more) and have performed extensively in The National Opera House of Ireland.
Through this, they have garnered a strong following with their music being shared all over the world on playlists (Spotify/Podcasts), radio stations (CKUA Radio/RnaG etc.) and TV programs (Fleadh TV, Ireland with Michael etc.). They look forward to sharing their musical journey with everyone as they explore and express the possibilities within Irish traditional music.
