'Auka' comes from an Old Norse word meaning 'to grow or augment'. A central theme in their Celtic-inspired instrumental music is their shared passion for the natural world, especially that of their beloved Sheffield and its surrounding Peak District. Combining a diverse range of musical influences, the band’s compositions ebb and flow from moments of delicate calm to those of frenetic energy.
