But Rua would like to move away from the ubiquitous "Celtic" label (a viewpoint not uncommon in Ireland).

"There's such a vast overuse of the word. The label "Celtic" is on everything, and it's just not true. Our music is not "Celtic", and I don't know if there's anyone in Ireland who knows what real "Celtic" is.

"We resent being labelled "Celtic" because of our red hair. Our music is Rua music, it is Irish."
