Huartan's mission is to connect contemporary audiences with the oral singing tradition and native language of Ulster! Formed in 2023, Huartan’s original blend of Irish traditional music and electronica have quickly earned them recognition, including the BBC Introducing NI Artist of the Year and the 2024 NI Music Prize Live Act of the Year. Through bold reinterpretations of at-risk Irish language songs, their mission is to connect contemporary audiences with the oral singing tradition and native language of Ulster. Emerging from the Gaeltacht quarter of West Belfast, Huartan is formed by three Irish traditional musicians – Catriona Ní Ghribín, Múlú, and producer Stiofán Ó Luachráin – alongside masked performers embodying the síogaí (fairy folk). As Hot Press write, Huartan are “one of the key voices in a realignment of modern Irish music and culture”: rooted in decolonial and anti-capitalist ideals, their otherworldly live shows channel a mythic pre-Christian Ireland. In 2026, the band will be touring their self-titled debut album, featuring Gaeilge songs injected with “urgent, pulsating electronica” (Hot Press) and described by Chordblossom as “one of the most visionary albums from 2025”.
