Ye Vagabonds

The Mac Gloinn brothers - Brian and Diarmuid - first performed in the streets together as buskers and have since evolved into a robust collective - a sonically unique ensemble featuring layered acoustic and electric guitars, trumpet, upright bass, Moog synthesizer, harmonium, bouzouki, fiddle, and the blood harmony of the siblings' distinctive, multi-hued voices. Having been described as "being at the fore of a new wave of Irish folk", they have won Best Track, Best Album and Best Folk Group at RTE Radio 1 Folk Awards. Their forthcoming and much anticipated new studio album, *All Tied Together*, was recorded mostly live in an old Galway house, with acclaimed producer Phil Weinrobe (Big Thief, Adrienne Lenker) at the helm and is released in January 2026 via Rough Trade / River Lea.
