    Saturday was sold out in minutes. Got tickets for Sunday before that sold out. One to really look forward to.

    They just announced that they're all sold out now. If you're a fan of President Teapot, he usually shows up to one of their gigs when they play the NCH.

    Anyone heading this week? - I'm going Saturday, would love to read reports from folks from the earlier shows :)

    edit: by the way, there were some extra production tickets released - seem to be still available on nch.ie - would advise going if you're anyway into trad

    Not much love for The Gloaming on here it seems..

    Just wanted to report back that Saturday night, the 3rd year in a row I've seen them in NCH, was the best yet - an impossible feat, I'd have said before the gig...

    Can't believe there's a lack of interest in these guys on here..

    Their now annual run at the NCH started last night - heading tomorrow and can't wait!

    They've just released Live at the NCH - picking it up tomorrow.

    If you've any love for trad, the good stuff, this is it..
    They take the from and stretch it, weave it from weird sometimes discordant tones from Thomas Bartlett's piano, the unparalleled vocals of Iarla Ó Lionáird , the virtuoso pairing of Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill on fiddle and guitar, and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh's otherworldly hardanger d'amore.

    Live, they improvise and extend the songs, and more often than not, reach what I can only describe as a kind of transcendence.

    Anyone else heading this run?



    edit: nice review putting it better than my attempt to put what they do into words

    Went along to the first night, 3rd year in a row. Loved it as usual. Had much better seats than in first two years so makes a difference. Martin Hayes stole the show, Iarla outstanding too. Thomas Bartlett could maybe take a leaf out of Denis Cahill's book & just whist up.
