The group Ye Vagabonds was founded by brothers Diarmuid and Brían Mac Gloinn, who are known for their beautiful vocal harmonies and their ability to bring old melodies to life. Join us and experience their soulful musical expression, which has made them leading figures in the new wave of Irish folk music.

Brothers Diarmuid and Brían Mac Gloinn, the duo behind Ye Vagabonds, are part of a new generation revitalizing Irish folk. Originally from Carlow, they moved to Dublin over ten years ago, where they still live today. Ye Vagabonds are celebrated for their exquisite harmonies and their gift for reinterpreting traditional songs. Their influences draw from Ulster’s rich singing traditions as well as North American folk music. And if those references don’t immediately ring a bell, they’ve summed up their sound quite simply themselves: “brothers, old melodies, close harmonies.” A short description for a sound that reaches deep into the soul!

In recent years, Ye Vagabonds have been touring extensively as headliners and have also opened for artists such as Patti Smith, Hozier, Phoebe Bridgers, boygenius, Dermot Kennedy, and Vampire Weekend. They have won “Best Track,” “Best Album,” and “Best Folk Group” at the RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards.

This year, they’re releasing new material — and who knows, we might be lucky enough to experience it live when the Irish folk brothers take the stage at ALICE!

Gruppen Ye Vagabonds er skabt af brødrene Diarmuid og Brían Mac Gloinn. De er kendt for at skabe smukke vokalharmonier og bringe gamle melodier til live. Kom med, og oplev deres sjælfulde, musikalske udtryk, der har gjort dem til frontfigurer i den nye bølge af irsk folkemusik.

Brødrene Diarmuid og Brían Mac Gloinn, som står bag gruppen Ye Vagabonds, er en del af en ny bølge af irsk folkemusik. Brødrene voksede op i Carlow, men flyttede til Dublin for over 10 år siden, hvor de stadig bor den dag i dag. Ye Vagabonds er kendt for at skabe smukke vokalharmonier og bringe gamle melodier til live. De trækker på den irske region Ulsters’ sangtradition, såvel som nordamerikansk folkemusik … Og hvis de referencer ikke ringer nogen klokke, har de selv beskrevet deres musik sådan her: “brothers, old melodies, close harmonies”. Så kort kan man altså beskrive en lyd, der rækker langt ind i sjælen!

På det seneste har Ye Vagabonds turneret en masse som hovednavn, og har desuden åbnet for artister såsom Patti Smith, Hozier, Phoebe Bridgers, boygenius, Dermot Kennedy og Vampire Weekend. De har vundet “Best Track”, “Best Album” og “Best Folk Group” til RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards. I år udgiver de nyt materiale – mon ikke vi er heldige at opleve det, når de irske folk-brødre gæster ALICEs scene!
