In addition, Martin Hayes and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh from the band are nominated in the Best Folk Instrumentalist category, whilst Iarla Ó Lionáird is nominated in the Best Folk Singer category alongside Ríoghnach Connolly from The Breath (who is also nominated for, and will perform at, the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in Manchester next month).

Released 22 February 2019
World renowned Irish American supergroup The Gloaming return with their highly anticipated third album. Produced by Thomas Bartlett, the album was recorded in New York City at Reservoir Studios. Like its predecessors, it richly reimagines the vernacular of traditional Irish music through a modern prism via elements of post-rock, jazz, contemporary classical, chamber and minimalism. -
Released 13 September 2018
A bewitching collection of songs that journeys from lush, beguiling storytelling to uplifting, punch-the-air anthems. Allowed to mature and breathe without losing the widescreen, multi-textured kaleidoscope of sound that marked their debut, Let the Cards Fall refines The Breath's unique Manchester take on alt-folk.
