Gloaming

3 Gloaming

The Gloaming is a contemporary Irish music group (with two American members!), formed in Ireland in

2011 by musicians Martin Hayes, Dennis Cahill, Iarla O Lionaird, Caoimhin O Raghallaigh and Thomas Bartlett (aka Doveman).

On this album you hear immediately the energy that comes from the clash and then the connection between tradition and innovation, between following contours that have been inherited and then creating a new tonal realm for that very inheritance. The music is nourished by diversity and range, it is open to the world, but it is also rooted in Ireland; it comes from a close study and deep knowledge of a tradition strong enough to be played with and enriched.
