Macdara Yeates (IR)
Miljøet omkring den Dublinske pub The Cobblestone har i århundreder holdt liv i den irske folkemusik med daglige jamsessions fra både byens mange lokale musikere og tilrejsende udøvere af traditionel musik fra hele landet. Da Macdara Yeates for ti år siden dukkede op, gjorde han sig bemærket – både fordi han var 50 år yngre end gennemsnitsalderen, men især på grund af sin inderlige sangstemme og sit imponerende bagkatalog af sange fra den irske sangbog i hukommelsen. Det blev begyndelsen på den ugentlige sangaften The Night That Larry Got Stretched, arrangeret af Yeates i samarbejde med en håndfuld unge musikere med fornyet interesse for deres musikalske arv. Musikere, der senere var med til at kickstarte en verdensomspændende interesse for irsk musik med bands som Lankum, Landless og Øxn.
Det skulle tage ti år, før Macdara Yeates i 2024 selv albumdebuterede med udgivelsen, der bærer den enkle og beskrivende titel Traditional Irish Singing. Her fortolker han sange fra den irske sangbog i en intim og minimalistisk opsætning, hvor hans stærke sangstemme kun sjældent akkompagneres – enten af sparsom akustisk guitar eller af en bodhrán, en traditionel irsk rammetromme. Albummet sikrede ham en plads på Mojo Magazines top 10 over de bedste folk-udgivelser i 2024.
Forvent en koncert, hvor du kommer helt tæt på den irske sangtradition med en mageløs sanger og formidler.
ULC Trio (DK/IR)
Oplev betagende fortolkninger af traditionel dansk og irsk musik fra det 17. århundrede med ULC Trio, som sidste sommer leverede en hjertelig og smuk koncert på Fanø Free Folk Festival.
ULC Trio blev dannet i 1996 og består af tre erfarne profiler fra den danske folkemusikscene: Seamus Cahill, en herboende irsk sanger, guitarist og bouzoukispiller, Sonnich Lydom på diatonisk harmonika og mundharpe samt Fanø-spillemanden Peter Uhrbrand på violin. Trioen opstod ud fra en fælles fascination af den traditionelle dansemusik fra Sønderho på Fanø, som også blev fundamentet for deres debutalbum fra 1998.
Selvom ULC Trio med glimt i øjet omtaler sig som Danmarks ældste boyband, og deres koncerter altid er krydret med en god portion humor, er deres forhold til den traditionelle fanøske og irske folkemusik dybt seriøst. Deres ubesværede sammensmeltning af tradition og nyskabelse skinner tydeligt igennem på debutudgivelsen Sik og Sejs fra 1998, som for nylig er blevet genudgivet.

Macdara Yeates (IR)
The scene surrounding the Dublin pub The Cobblestone has kept Irish folk music alive for centuries, with daily jam sessions featuring both the city’s many local musicians and visiting performers of traditional music from across the country. When Macdara Yeates appeared on the scene ten years ago, he quickly stood out—not only because he was 50 years younger than the average musician, but especially due to his heartfelt singing voice and his impressive repertoire of songs from the Irish songbook. This marked the beginning of the weekly singing event The Night That Larry Got Stretched, organized by Yeates in collaboration with a handful of young musicians who shared a renewed passion for their musical heritage. Many of these musicians later helped spark a global interest in Irish music through bands like Lankum, Landless, and Øxn.
It would take another ten years before Macdara Yeates made his own album debut in 2024 with a release aptly titled Traditional Irish Singing. Here, he interprets songs from the Irish songbook in an intimate and minimalist setup, where his powerful voice is only occasionally accompanied—either by sparse acoustic guitar or a bodhrán, a traditional Irish frame drum. The album earned him a spot on Mojo Magazine’s top 10 folk releases of 2024.
Expect a concert that brings you up close to the Irish singing tradition, led by a remarkable singer and storyteller.

ULC Trio (DK/IR)
Experience captivating interpretations of traditional Danish and Irish music from the 17th century with ULC Trio, who delivered a heartfelt and beautiful concert at the Fanø Free Folk Festival last summer.
ULC Trio was formed in 1996 and consists of three seasoned figures from the Danish folk music scene: Seamus Cahill, a herboende Irish singer, guitarist, and bouzouki player, Sonnich Lydom on diatonic harmonica and mouth harp, and Peter Uhrbrand, a Fanø fiddler. The trio was born out of a shared fascination with the traditional dance music from Sønderho on Fanø, which also served as the foundation for their debut album from 1998.
Although ULC Trio jokingly refers to themselves as Denmark's oldest boy band, and their concerts are always infused with a good deal of humor, their relationship with traditional Fanø and Irish folk music is deeply serious. Their effortless fusion of tradition and innovation is clearly evident on their debut release Sik og Sejs from 1998, which was recently reissued.
