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.
