Lankum, the Dublin based four-piece, present a new live show celebrating their much-anticipated third album which will be released on Rough Trade Records, Friday 25th October 2019.
Lankum have an alchemical ability to combine traditional folk roots with contemporary undercurrents to forge music that is dark, mysterious and transcendental. Comprising of brothers Ian Lynch (uillean pipes, tin whistle, vocals), Daragh Lynch (vocals, guitar) alongside Cormac Mac Diarmada (fiddle) and Radie Peat (harmonium, accordion, vocals), Lankum channel a diverse set of influences and histories to create a beautifully rare thing: a songbook from and for the people.
Born of years criss-crossing Dublin’s folk and experimental scenes, their two albums ‘Cold Old Fire’ (2013, recorded under former name Lynched) and Rough Trade debut ‘Between The Earth and Sky’ (2017), breathe new life into ancient/modern rituals with urban punk fervour, rural psycho-geography and, underpinning it all, the eternal drone of the uilleann pipes.
The group kickstart the Irish leg of their album launch tour at Dolan’s, Limerick, Friday 18th October, before touring to the Róisín Dubh, Galway (19th October), The Empire Music Hall, Belfast (24th October), Vicar’s Street, Dublin *Sold Out* (25th October), and Live at St Luke’s as part of Quiet Lights festival in Cork (23rd November).
