Post Description

Een hoogtepunt van Ierse folk, op meerdere fronten. Meenemen!!!

You knew that when the Alt released its eponymous debut album in 2014 there was definitely more to come.  It was a special release – bold, fully formed, and interesting – that boded well for the future.  And finally, the time has come for new work: “Day is Come” is their most recent release.  It’s a 10-track affair of very, very fine vocal (and some instrumental) music that builds on the superiority of their debut.

The Alt are John Doyle, Nuala Kennedy and Eamon O’ Leary. While each player is a leading light of today’s folk scene; at its heart The Alt is a musical celebration of friendship and song.

The Irish Echo commented in 2014, on The Alt’s eponymous first album that ‘inspired song selection and thoughtful arrangements reveal the chemistry these top musicians share’.

Day is Come reignites that spark, as the trio interpret traditional songs through their unique collaborative prism. Recorded from afar during the lockdowns of our global pandemic, the album is somehow quieter and more haunting than the first, but also reaches further into the deep well of traditional poetry and song, drawing out themes and motifs both poignant and relevant.
