The Haar brings together the fresh talent of traditional Irish singer Molly Donnery with percussionist Cormac Byrne, fiddle player Adam Summerhayes and accordionist Murray Grainger - musicians blessed with a most uncanny mutual understanding. The band has its origins in a chance meeting between Adam, Cormac and Molly at a trad session at Craiceann Bodhrn Festival, Inis Orr, resulting in an improvised live performance recorded by the shipwreck of the Plassey on the wild Atlantic seafront. It was to become typical of the unique live reactive composition that characterises their music. With the addition of master accordionist Grainger, they entered the studio at the end of 2019 to record their debut album The Haar with no plans or arrangements, guided only by the live musical landscapes they created the music was recorded as it flowed, often in the first and only take.
