The Haar combines the staggering musicianship of Molly Donnery (vocals), Adam Summerhayes (fiddle), Murray Grainger (accordion) and Cormac Byrne (bodhrán). The Lost Day is a coming-of-age album, bursting with the poetic storytelling, heartbreaking remorse and hopeful anticipation that has become synonymous with The Haar’s authentic musical expression. ��Their honest, tender, yet epic iteration of traditional songs on this new album provides an extraordinary insight into the suffering, sorrow, hope and happiness of being a human. Remarkable music from a band that has gained a loyal grassroots following, and are becoming one of the most in-demand and unique live acts in the UK and Irish folk scenes today.��“A mesmerising impromptu arc of artistry” Irish Music Magazine
The spontaneity of this exciting quartet thrives on the trust they put in each other to create a spontaneous and:
“splendid balance of swirling instrumental magic and beautifully sung narratives,” KLOF Mag.
The band themselves say: “We let our imaginations run free with these old favourites,” and the result is breathtakingly beautiful and audaciously ambitious.
