Bakers Bar, Clonmel
Thursday 29th May 2025
Clonmel World Music is delighted to present one of Irelands best up and coming Trad Fusion bands, The Wran, ahead of their appearance at Glastonbury this year !
Emerging from the Comeragh Mountains of County Waterford, Ireland, Brothers—Tommy, Danny, Sean, and Stephen Dunford—form the heart of the brand-new trad fusion band THE WRAN.
Inspired by the likes of Moving hearts, Lankum, Planxty, and the Mary Wallopers, The Wran united to form their band, infusing traditional Irish tunes with contemporary folk nuances. Their sound is built upon banjo, acoustic guitar, accordion, electric guitar, bass and drums, (to name a few).
Their performances weave old folk tunes with original compositions, enchanting audiences with their authenticity and innovation. The band has only begun their journey, but their dynamic energy and musical prowess leave an enduring impact.
The show will take place in Bakers Bar, Parnell Street Clonmel on Thursday 29th May.
The Wran were signed up straight away by one of the UK’s foremost Roots agency, Midnight Mango, having performed at Irelands Artist showcase “Your roots Are Showing” in January this year.
Already their calendar is filling up with UK Festival summer shows, and a big UK tour is in planning.
Clonmel World Music is delighted to be asked to host The Wran for their first Irish show with the UK Agency, Midnight Mango.
Special Guests on the night will be local musical heroes Alan Acheson and Holly O’Reilly playing a selection of great traditional ballads and tunes.
