Biography
Described by the Irish Times as a band whose live performances are "akin to mesmerising, whirling dervishes", the Irish/American folk supergroup The Gloaming uses the Irish music tradition as a foundation but, the newspaper said, strays "wide and far, down freeform jazz highways and improvisational byways, occasionally detouring in the direction of contemporary classical sounds along their picaresque way". Formed in Ireland in 2011 by five established performers - fiddle players Martin Hayes and CaoimhÃn à Raghallaigh, singer Iarla à Lionáird, guitarist Dennis Cahill and singer Thomas Bartlett on vocals and piano - they have wowed audiences in extended stints at the National Concert Hall in Dublin and at the Ceiliúradh at The Royal Albert Hall in London, the Sydney Opera House, the Lincoln Center in New York, Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie, Teatro de la Ciudad in Mexico City and Philharmonie de Paris. They have released two studio albums 'The Gloaming' (2014) and 'The Gloaming 2' (2016) with concert release 'Live at the NCH' in 2018.
