About Madra Salach
Irish sextet Madra Salach combine their own neo-traditional take on Irish folk with elements of electronic and ambient music. Madra Salach ("Dirty Dog") was formed in Dublin in 2023, the members having met in their early teens while playing in various bands in the city's indie scene and bonded over a shared love of the Irish traditional canon. They had no formal background in traditional music, having only played in indie bands, but taught themselves the basics of the style. Unbeholden to tradition, they had no qualms about mixing up the genre with elements from electronic and ambient music, such as synthesizer and harmonium. The band made their name playing in trad sessions across the city, where their reputation spread by word of mouth and then into the press. Their debut EP, It's a Hell of an Age, arrived early in 2026 and led to a deal with Island Records.
