The Haar introduces the formidable singing talent of Molly Donnery and three of the most exciting instrumentalists on the folk and traditional music circuit - Cormac Byrne (BBC Folk Award/Show of Hands/Seth Lakeman), Adam Summerhayes and Murray Grainger (both of the FATEA award-winning Ciderhouse Rebellion).

Their self-titled debut, released in June 2020, was a collection of traditional Irish songs tackling love, poverty and oppression. Swirling instrumental magic and beautifully sung narratives, Mike Harding described it as 'absolutely amazing' .
