We chat to the Anglo-Irish quartet The Haar about their wonderful new album of traditional Irish songs set to improvised music. Cue major and minor key switching, intuition and creative satisfaction.
Featuring Adam Summerhayes, Cormac Byrne, Murray Grainger and Molly Donnery, watch The Haar’s video for Anachie Gordon, a new track that was recorded, filmed, mixed, and made remotely, in lockdown.
We need more music like this; spontaneous, alive and affecting, The Haar, featuring Adam Summerhayes, Cormac Byrne, Murray Grainger and Molly Donnery, will take you on a journey and have you appreciating the purest of life’s pleasures. Wonderful stuff.
Folk Duo The Ciderhouse Rebellion have found a way to collaborate from 50 miles apart – making music synchronised in real-time. Watch them live this evening and every Tuesday at 8.30pm via Facebook to witness just why that connection is so important.
Totally improvised and recorded live in a single take, Adam Summerhayes and Murray Grainger’s “Untold” is work of startling, immediate beauty. It is a rich, durable and mercurial sound that will reward repeated listens.
Listen to Chapter 2 from UNTOLD, a stunningly beautiful track from the debut album from new duo The Ciderhouse Rebellion featuring fiddle player Adam Summerhayes and master accordionist Murray Grainger.
