The Haar introduces the formidable singing talent of All-Ireland Scor na nOg winner Molly Donnery
The Haar introduces the formidable singing talent of All-Ireland Scor na nOg winner Molly Donnery combined with three of the most exciting instrumentalists on the folk and traditional music circuit Cormac Byrne (Show of Hands / Seth Lakeman), Adam Summerhayes and Murray Grainger (both of the FATEA award-winning Ciderhouse Rebellion)
This is music that is not afraid to transcend borders - whilst recognisably born of the traditional music that all members have grown up withThe Haar are unapologetic in pushing the boundaries to create a unique and compelling sound
The origins of the band go back to a chance meeting between Adam, Cormac and Molly at a session at the Craiceann Bodhran FestivalThis resulted in an improvised performance recorded by the shipwreck of the Plassey on the west coast of IrelandIt was to become typical of the unique 'live reactive composition' that characterises their musicWith the addition of master accordionist Grainger, they entered the studio at the end of 2019 to record their first album
Their self-titled debut, released in June 2020, is a collection of traditional Irish songs tackling love, poverty and oppressionIt was heralded as 'a splendid balance of swirling instrumental magic and beautifully sung narratives' by Folk Radio UK and garnered attention from Mike Harding who described it as 'absolutely amazing'
The latest album, entitled Where Old Ghosts Meet received multiple rave reviews and has paved the way for outstanding festival appearances at Shrewsbury, Beardy Folk, and at other prestigious stages
'This is not a dyed-green-Guinness-and-a-bit-o'-craic Ireland, this is the coast of Connemara Ireland, this is watching the fog roll in around The Skellig Islands Ireland..devastatingly beautiful' Bristol 24/7
'The Haar conjuring magic that had long been hidden in plain sight, responding melodically in a mesmerising impromptu arc of artistry' Irish Music Magazine
