From Tullamore in the heart of Ireland, the trio of multi-instrumentalists, producers and vocalists Ronan Bell, Jonathan Byrne and Ted Conway fuse traditional Celtic instrumentation with modern electronic production and are influenced by peers such as Kneecap, Lankum and The Mary Wallopers, artists who use the beautiful language of Gaeilge to deliver their lyrics with maximum weight.
“Kneecap reignited the flame, in a way,” says Ted Conway. “We feel it’s our responsibility to use that to progress our culture and tradition in the same way we’ve been doing it through our music, and it’s often easier for us to express that in our native language.”
Cyber Celt is a coming together of the past, present and future, in which Chasing Abbey reflect on the lessons they can glean from their ancestors – and their respect for nature and tradition – while also learning from their mistakes. They infuse their music with a strong political bent, melding themes of pride, defiance, heritage and tradition with messages against corruption, greed and colonialism.
“We have a moral code that we live by – you have to, in these times,” adds Conway. “It’s pretty crazy out there and you’ve got a lot of racism, a lot of hatred, bigotry, sexism, the whole shebang. It feels rampant at the moment. So everybody has a duty to try and stand against it, because we can’t just let it go on. This is the purpose of music, of being an artist.”
Cyber Celt may be their debut album, but Chasing Abbey already have a worldwide fanbase, built from a decade of single and EP releases – earning awards and multiple-platinum records while reaching over one million followers online – and their incredible live show, which is as much a spiritual awakening as it is a concert performance. The trio mix soaring energy with a message of unity and social justice that drives home the feeling that this is more than just a show.
