Ye Vagabonds are brothers Brían and Diarmuid Mac Gloinn. Alongside Lankum, Lisa O'Neill, John Francis Flynn and Landless they are at the forefront of a new Irish folk movement which emerged out of Dublin in the late 2010’s. Their music is defined by their close harmony singing, a sound influenced by the 60s folk revival as well as contemporary folk and Irish traditional music.   They made their debut album Ye Vagabonds in 2017 with Alain Mc Fadden on harmonium, mandolin and banjo, and Nicholas Cooper on violin/viola. They recorded the album live in the Meadow, in Delgany, Co. Wicklow, engineered by Nick Rayner, and released it on their own label, Inglenook Records.  They signed to Rough Trade Records’ folk imprint River Lea in 2019 and released their second album The Hare's Lament to critical acclaim. The album is a collection of traditional songs learned from archives, recordings, friends and family. The band received several awards following the album, from the BBC and RTÉ Folk Awards.   Their third album Nine Waves is due out on the 13th of May 2022. The band released the first single from the album, Blue is the Eye in February.   Pre-order Nine Waves and find their records at https://store.roughtraderecords.com/products/ye-vagabonds-nine-waves or on Bandcamp at https://yevagabonds.bandcamp.com/.
