About this event
Concertwith Ye Vagabonds and Guests
Legendary fiddler Martin Hayes and his quartet join acclaimed folk duo Ye Vagabonds and other special guests for a soulful evening of contemporary and traditional Irish music.
Praised by the Irish Times as a musician with an “insatiable appetite for adventure,” Hayes is regarded as one of the most significant talents to emerge in the world of Irish traditional music. He is the founder of the musical supergroup The Gloaming, The Common Ground Ensemble, and the Martin Hayes Quartet. He is the artistic director of Masters of Tradition, an annual festival in Cork, Ireland, and a co-curator for the Marble Sessions at the Kilkenny Arts Festival, Ireland.
Led by Dublin-based brothers Diarmuid and Brían Mac Gloinn, Irish alt-folk group Ye Vagabonds has been described as “being at the fore of a new wave of Irish folk.” They have toured relentlessly in recent years across Ireland, the UK, Europe, and beyond, including (alongside their own headline touring) notable special guest slots opening for the likes of Patti Smith, Hozier, Phoebe Bridgers, boygenuius, Dermot Kennedy, and Vampire Weekend.
