They Tried To Bury Us is a collection of original songs that gives voice to the silenced: the endangered curlew; Lí Ban of Lough Neagh; lost words of our native tongue; the Rostrevor oak; those seeking refuge on our shores and the Palestinian poets whose words embody defiance and inspire generations. All songs have a deep connection to the North of Ireland - the album was written across Ulster with an incredible array of musicians based in the Northern counties, alongside producer Seán Óg Graham. It is an album that rises from the earth against oppression, and insists that love and hope will never be buried.
