Auka
Auka comes from an Old Norse word meaning to grow or augment - a term that perfectly sums up the band’s organic and original approach to music-making. Auka's Celtic-inspired instrumental music reflects their shared passion for the natural world, especially that of their beloved Sheffield and its surrounding Peak District. The band’s compositions ebb and flow from moments of delicate calm to those of frenetic energy. Kirsty Lomax’s (Irish flute and whistle), Matt Gilchrist (guitar) and Joss Mann-Hazell (double bass) weave between melodic and accompanying roles to create a simply beautiful sound.
