25 things to look forward to in 2012…. The Gloaming album
It was short, but The Gloaming’s summer tour was invigorating and potentially seminal, with the music bracing and beautiful in equal measure. The supergroup of sean-nós singer Iarla Ó Lionáird, fiddle players Martin Hayes and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, guitarist Dennis Cahill and classically trained pianist Thomas Bartlett grew from sessions at Grouse Lodge Studios, in Westmeath, early this year. From those recordings will come an album, but before that may be a live EP. Their live performances so far have been revelatory, and they play New York’s GlobalFest in January. Future Irish dates are likely to cement them as one of the great forces in Irish music - The Irish Times
The Gloaming U.S. Debut - January 8, Globalfest, NYC

“Martin Hayes and his newly convened compadres took an audacious leap of faith into the unknown – and in that leap, drew their audience into a magnetic underworld where light and dark, old and new coalesced to compelling effect….
The Gloaming fully exploited the rich sonic possibilities which Thomas Bartlett’s piano, Dennis Cahill’s guitar and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh’s fiddles brought to the party…. The warmth of Ó Lionáird’s voice was immediately evident, as were the show-stopping impact of Vermont-born Bartlett’s lines on the piano…
The Gloaming’s newly forged songs were a revelation. A rendering of Michael Hartnett’s Muince An Dreoilín/A Necklace of Wrens soared on the back of Ó Lionáird’s beautiful Munster Irish, as did the deliciously rough-edgedSamhradh…
Hayes and Ó Raghallaigh are two immensely differing fiddlers but both are fearless in their pursuit of mood music.
This was music of an entirely different hue: neither slavishly traditional nor wilfully contemporary, it sought out uncharted terrain (some of which was undoubtedly familiar) – and, most impressively, welcomed their audience as essential passengers on that journey.” Siobhan Long, The Irish Times
