She Moved Through The Fair

The Haar live at The David Hall. Filmed by Hands On TV handsontv.co.uk
The Haar brings the formidable singing talent of All-Ireland Scór na nÓg winner Molly Donnery combined with three of the most exciting instrumentalists on the folk and traditional music scene in Cormàc Byrne (Show of Hands/Seth Lakeman/FATEA Instrumentalist of the Year), Adam Summerhayes (Zum/Red Priest/Dodo Street), and Murray Grainger (Piers Adams/Miranda Sykes/Martin Allcock) - both of the FATEA award-winning The Ciderhouse Rebellion.
The origins of the band go back to a chance meeting between Adam, Cormac and Molly at a session at the Craiceann Bodhrán Festival. This resulted in an improvised performance recorded by the shipwreck of the Plassey on the west coast of Ireland. It was to become typical of the unique ‘live reactive composition’ that characterises their music. With the addition of master accordionist Grainger, they entered the studio at the end of 2019 to record their first album - The Haar.
The latest album, entitled Where Old Ghosts Meet received multiple rave reviews and has paved the way for outstanding festival appearances at Shrewsbury, Beardy Folk, and at other prestigious stages.
