Folk at the John Peel - The Haar

After their phenomenal sell-out concert for Folk at the John Peel in 2024, we are delighted to be welcoming back The Haar on their 2026 album tour. Book your tickets early to avoid disappointment!

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 is becoming one of the most in-demand and unique live acts in the UK and Irish folk scenes today.
