Music at Madden’s Podcast #026 “Sound, Stories & Finding Their Voice” with Huartan

In this episode of Music at Madden’s, we’re joined live in Madden’s Bar by Hurtan, one of the most distinctive and forward-thinking acts in Irish music right now.We talk about their recent appearance on The Tommy Tiernan Show and what that moment meant for the band, as well as their wider journey so far. The conversation dives deep into Hurtan’s creative process — from blending traditional Irish music with electronic elements, to their striking use of costumes and visual identity on stage.The band also explore how their sound, performances, and overall aesthetic draw on ritualistic, pagan influences rooted in Irish culture, creating a live experience that feels immersive, ancient, and completely modern all at once.Recorded, as always, in the heart of Madden’s Bar, this episode offers an honest snapshot of a band in motion — thoughtful, driven, and finding their feet together.New episodes every Monday.SponsorsMadden’s Bar Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MaddensBarBelfast/Pizza Works – Antrim RoadWebsite: https://www.pizzaworksni.co.uk/
