The Haar

Event information

With their radically fresh, boundary-pushing take on traditional songs, Anglo/Irish quartet The Haar combine the formidable singing talent of Molly Donnery with three of the most exciting instrumentalists on the folk and traditional music scene, Cormàc Byrne, Adam Summerhayes, and Murray Grainger.

Known for taking a familiar tune and turning it into something breathtakingly fresh and ambitious, the world-class instrumental improvisers produce ever-changing musical soundscapes, while Molly lets her sublime and versatile vocals flow to stunning effect. The band themselves say: “We let our imaginations run free with these old favourites,” and the result is breathtakingly beautiful and audaciously ambitious.
