The Haar at Reeth Memorial Hall

With their radically fresh, boundary-pushing take on traditional songs, Anglo/Irish quartet The Haar combine the formidable singing talent of Molly Donnery with three of the most exciting instrumentalists on the folk and traditional music scene, Cormàc Byrne, Adam Summerhayes, and Murray Grainger.

The Haar will be touring in support of their latest album The Lost Day, released in December 2025. 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

Known for taking a familiar tune and turning it into something breathtakingly fresh and ambitious, the world-class instrumental improvisers produce ever-changing musical soundscapes, while Molly lets her sublime and versatile vocals flow to stunning effect. The band themselves say: “We let our imaginations run free with these old favourites,” and the result is breathtakingly beautiful and audaciously ambitious.
