About inu
For those who our new to us, here's a little bit about ourselves.
Inu came together in the spring of 2002 to put together a fresh sound of the music we love. We are all from very different
backgrounds but have a common ground in traditional music, in particular the Irish tradition in which we are all actively
Involved with in the local scene.
Our set is well crafted from tunes and songs from Ireland, Britain, France and Eastern Europe that we have picked up during
our extensive travelling, as well as our own compositions. We aim to play our music with Integrity, sincerity and respect
for all of the traditions from which we draw upon.
The name Inu comes from the word inua of the Inuit tribe of North America and means soul or high spirit. It came to us
on the a trip to Milltown Malbay for the Willy Clancy Festival and we got hold of Dervishe's new album of the time called
spirit.This band being a massive influence to us (among many, too many to even begin mentioning), we felt had shown us the
way as we were struggling to find a name for ourselves. We are in great admiration of what they convey in the music and of
all the countless musicians in the Irish music scene who keep such a deep style of music alive and that what we wanted to
present was represented with this name, as it also appealed to our universal sense of Identity and taste.
We have also found out since that Inu also means dog in Japanes and that Innu also means today in Irish.These words also
fit in with our senabilities so that's o.k. If any one has any other meanings or translations so please feel free to contact
us and let us know. We are always interested in hearing what any one has to say an welcome people's views and opinions on
our music and gigs.
