Emerging from the Comeragh Mountains of County Waterford, The Wran are four brothers: Tommy, Danny, Seán and Stephen Dunford. They bring a fresh voice to Irish music, blending trad with punk and a hint of psychedelia to create music that feels both timeless and new. Drawing inspiration from Planxty, The Pogues and Lankum, The Wran combine traditional and modern instrumentation, including banjo, harmonium, acoustic guitar, bass VI and drums. They are dedicated to keeping the Irish language, traditional songs and storytelling alive while continuing to push it forward in their own way.
2025 marks a breakthrough year with performances at Glastonbury, All Together Now, Electric Picnic, Green Man, Greenbelt and Beautiful Days. The Wran are quickly carving their own path through the modern trad landscape and they won’t be Ireland’s best-kept secret for long.
