Brothers Brían and Diarmuid Mac Gloinn grew up playing music together around their hometown of Carlow.
After moving to Dublin in 2012, they quickly became a staple of the live music and session scene, playing their own original songs as well as folk songs from Ireland, Scotland, England and America.
In October 2017 they launched their debut album to great acclaim. ‘Ye Vagabonds’ comprised of harmony rich folk music, influenced by Irish traditional music, Appalachian singing, and the 1960's folk revival. Their second album ‘The Hare’s Lament’ was released in 2019 to huge critical acclaim. That year they won the BBC Radio Two Folk Award for Best Traditional Track, and they swept the boards at the RTÉ Radio One Folk Awards where they won Best Traditional Track, Best Group, and Best Album.
Their most recent album ‘Nine Waves’ was released on Rough Trade’s River Lea label in 2022. It was described as a “remarkable album” by Songlines and “Joyous” by Uncut. In 2023, boygenius collaborated with Ye Vagabonds on a cover of ‘The Parting Glass’, paying tribute to the late Sinéad O'Connor who had died earlier that year.
See and hear them in this intimate setting.
