From the band :

"Trì ('tree') forge new territory in original folk & dance tune music. Trì are: Kez Watson (fiddles/mandolin/tenor guitar), Dave Carr (uilleann pipes/flute/whistles) and Steve Tafra (guitar/banjo/accordion). Interweaving traditional tunes from Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Andalusia, The Balkans and beyond with original tunes and arrangement, Trì speak with a unique voice whilst respecting tradition.

Trì's album – “Tunage” - released November 30, 2021 - grooves with original tunes crafted for combinations of fiddle, uilleann pipes/flute/whistles, banjo/accordion/guitar and double bass. The music draws inspiration from a variety of Celtic, European and Australian performance and dance music traditions. The live recordings reflect the group’s diverse approach and passion for performing traditional and contemporary repertoires from around the world.
The album content identifies broadly within the celtic, folk and world music genres; drawing on regional elements of musical style and language in: tune form and ‘local accent’, instrument combination/ensemble arrangement and compositional technique.
You will hear ‘ancient’ airs and dance tune sets, reflective of the traditional sounds of Ireland, Scotland and the Spanish celtic provinces. Captured in the 7/8  and 13/8 tunes on the album, there is fusion of idiomatic structures and essences from Eastern Europe and beyond, such as the exotic scales/modes and rhythmic grooves of The Balkans. Add to this an audible exchange in Australian and Norwegian folk contexts, via a solo (dual track) improvisation/tune formation; performed on a sympathetic stringed ‘wombat' hardanger fiddle.
With tunes from the album already earmarked/in production for film/media soundtracks, the long and unbroken traditions of folk and dance music are set to continue with these 'Trì'.
