Details

Ye Vagabonds are brothers, Brían and Diarmuid Mac Gloinn. They began playing music together on the streets of their hometown and forged a style based on close harmonies and acoustic instrumentation inspired by various folk traditions. They then moved to Dublin and quickly became familiar faces around the city’s folk and blues session scene.

Ye Vagabonds’ new release The Hare’s Lament is the third release on Rough Trade’s River Lea imprint. This is an album of traditional songs learned from some of the greats of Irish music; from precious archive recordings of a grandfather they never met; from the unique collection of singer Róise na nAmhrán from Arranmore Island in Donegal (their mother’s birthplace) and from contemporaries in the singing communities around Dublin, of which Ye Vagabonds are a valued part.

"Reflective and reverent, with Nine Waves Ye Vagabonds prove once again to be at the forefront of an ever-evolving, flourishing Irish folk scene and have done so in the most understated and inspired fashion imaginable."
Folk Radio

"Ye Vagabonds are a modern expression of a tradition that is truly robust and important to these islands." - Roy Harper
