Quiet Lights announce online concert featuring an exciting line up of Irish folk, traditional and emerging talents: Iarla Ó Lionáird & Steve Cooney, Marlene Enright and Aoife Blake.

From Ocean’s Floor is the forthcoming release from Irish composer Linda Buckley which features sean nós singer Iarla Ó Lionáird.

World-renowned Irish American supergroup The Gloaming return with their highly anticipated third studio album The Gloaming 3 on 22nd February 2019 on Real World Records. Listen to two new tracks Sheehan’s Jigs and Áthas (Joy).

What is so impressive about this release is the level of immersive intimacy that the quintet achieves in a live setting. Only the audience appreciation at the end of each track reminds you that they aren’t playing just for you. This is music deeply rooted in its time and in its space yet played without borders – and it’s all the better for it.

We have a pair of guest-list places to giveaway for The Gloaming ‘Sold Out’ show at Union Chapel this Friday 26th February, the same day on which their new album “2” is released on Real World records.

In 2, The Gloaming meet and exceed the expectations encouraged by their debut. It’s another enthralling, captivating interpretation of Irish tradition. For some reason it’s all rather emotional – that emotion tends to be joy, frequently mixed with wonder.

The Gloaming announce new album ‘2’, to be released on February 26…enhancing traditional Irish music’s rich, melancholic tones with modern hues of jazz, contemporary classical, and experimental music. Listen to Fáinleog (Wanderer) here.

Irish music supergroup ‘The Gloaming’ announce new album and two live shows in London and Dublin for February 2016. Watch them performing Samhradh Samhradh live in Cork.
