The Gloaming, a musical collective featuring the considerable talents of Thomas Bartlett, Dennis Cahill, Martin Hayes, Iarla O' Lionaird, Caomhin O'Raghallaigh and special guests, are set to play Vicar Street on May 12th.

The five came together to explore new music at Grouse Lodge Studios is West Meath in early 2011. At once they made music that is at once both ancient and utterly new. New York pianist Bartlett, sean-nos singer Ó Lionaird, Chicago guitarist Cahill, fiddler and hardanger innovator Ó Raghallaigh and fiddle master Hayes is a group of virtuoso musicians yet it is a band with a sound all of its own.

Tickets for the show will cost €28 and are on sale now.
