About this Event

Zrazy return on their new odyssey of resurrecting their seminal 1992 song - “I’m in

Love with Mother Nature”. To be featured under ‘Songs of important cultural moments’ by the Sunday Independent June 2026. The song is more relevant than ever in a crazed war/arms industry, GDP-driven , profit-above-all-economic system of constant exploitation of Nature and people.

The song’s spirit reminds us of recovery through retrieving and recovering the female/feminine principal. A pre-patriarchal time when the female was revered and respected.

Another lovely example from the animal world is of the Bonobo apes , a matriarchal system of resolution versus the chimpanzee world of domineering male violence.

With an extensive back catalogue of award-winning songs, they will perform some tracks from every album.The most recent release was a feminist football anthem “Come On Ireland” for the Irish Womens Soccer team that includes all Irish sportswomen. It reprises their hit song “Ooh Aah Paul McGrath” for Italia 90.
