The musical repertoire of AN CAT DUBH ranges from celtic
traditionals, played in fresh and modern arrangements, to
original material with an unconfusably own style. The greater
part of the program consists of self-written material, since
the members set great store by individuality.
Lyrically AN CAT DUBH's songs deal with the same topics many
of the traditional Irish songs and ballads do - famine, war,
emigration, exploitation, unemployment, the Northern Ireland
conflict and revolt against British repression. If you think
all of this is much to melancholic or even melodramatic,
you'll find the typical Irish-Scottish songs about love,
loneliness and drinking as well as some celtic mythology
influenced lyrics a welcome relief. All in all its a well
balanced program which perfectly represents the band's name
and their musical style: lyrics as black as Guinness, ballads
as quiet as velvet paws and "rockers" as sharp as claws.
