Impressive Anglo-Irish folk band The Haar are embarking on a UK tour this October playing shows in Honiton, Settle, Stroud and St Endellion.

The Haar - October UK Tour will be at The Beehive Honiton. Friday, October 5 from 7.30pm.

The band includes All-Ireland Scór na nÓg winner Molly Donnery combined with three of the most exciting instrumentalists on the folk and traditional music circuit: Cormac Byrne (Show of Hands, Seth Lakeman), Adam Summerhayes (Zum, Red Priest, Dodo Street Band, The Ciderhouse Rebellion) and Murray Grainger (Piers Adams, Miranda Sykes, Martin Allcock, The Ciderhouse Rebellion). Their music is not afraid to transcend borders – while born of the traditional music that all members have grown up with.

A spokesman for the show said: "The Haar are unapologetic in pushing the boundaries to create a unique ‘live reactive composition’ sound as seen on their two albums and live performances. Their self-titled debut, released in June 2020, is a collection of traditional Irish songs tackling love, poverty and oppression. It was heralded as “a splendid balance of swirling instrumental magic and beautifully sung narratives” by Folk Radio UK and garnered attention from Mike Harding who described it as “absolutely amazing”.

The latest album, entitled Where Old Ghosts Meet received multiple rave reviews last year and has paved the way for outstanding live shows on some of the countries most prestigious stages.
