Choirs: Anuna (Dublin)

Postby Christopher » Mon Sep 08, 2008 6:19 am

Anuna has a great sound. It was founded in Ireland by Michael McGlynn in late 1987. Michael was reared from an early age on the Sex Pistols and Debussy. This odd mixture doesn't appear to have done him too much harm although his MySpace blurb says that this meant that he didn't appreciate the fact that a choir was supposed to behave and sing in a certain way. Thus the Anuna story began. Today Anuna is still run by Michael and his twin brother John McGlynn.

Anuna remain one of the most unusual choirs around today. Not classical, not folk, not world, not Celtic... Anuna was formed also as a response to the rising clamour for a change in the Irish music scene and the need to find a sound that fell between the two stools of Irish music, Traditional and Rock.
