The Haar

See Festival website for details.

The Haar will be taking the stage on Sat 31st Oct

The Haar combines the staggering musicianship of Molly Donnery (vocals), Adam Summerhayes (fiddle), Murray Grainger (accordion) and Cormac Byrne (bodhrán). The Lost Day is a coming-of-age album, bursting with the poetic storytelling, heartbreaking remorse and hopeful anticipation that has become synonymous with The Haar’s authentic musical expression.

Their honest, tender, yet epic iteration of traditional songs on this new album provides an extraordinary insight into the suffering, sorrow, hope and happiness of being a human. Remarkable music from a band that has gained a loyal grassroots following, and are becoming one of the most in-demand and unique live acts in the UK and Irish folk scenes today.
