The Haar combines the staggering musicianship of Molly Donnery (vocals), Adam Summerhayes (fiddle), Murray Grainger (accordion) and Cormac Byrne (bodhrán). The Lost Day is a coming-of-age album, bursting with the poetic storytelling, heartbreaking remorse and hopeful anticipation that has become synonymous with The Haar’s authentic musical expression.
Their honest, tender, yet epic iteration of traditional songs on this new album provides an extraordinary insight into the suffering, sorrow, hope and happiness of being a human. Remarkable music from a band that has gained a loyal grassroots following, and are becoming one of the most in-demand and unique live acts in the UK and Irish folk scenes today.
“A mesmerising impromptu arc of artistry” Irish Music Magazine
The spontaneity of this exciting quartet thrives on the trust they put in each other to create a spontaneous and “splendid balance of swirling instrumental magic and beautifully sung narratives,” KLOF Mag.
The band themselves say: “We let our imaginations run free with these old favourites,” and the result is breathtakingly beautiful and audaciously ambitious.
The Haar will be touring with their third album ‘The Lost Day’ throughout 2026.
