'If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together'
 
Urchin Collective is a movement of independent musicians based in Ireland operating in the genres of avant garde electronica, folk, Irish language, trad, alternative and indie.

Inspired by the work of other Irish and international collectives such as Community Music and Blocks Recording Club, we have released 3 samplers of our musical, performed at and curated various events.

We have words. We have spirit. Come join us.

“A series of sonic gems (gifted with beats and beautifully spectral spoken-word inserts) that breathe life and art into electronic music… 4****” The Irish Times
