A raucous, soul-stirring anthem of Irish emigration and the longing for home, ‘Take Me Home’ is the latest release from the revered Robin James Hurt.
Few artists embody the fire and heart of Irish and Scottish folk music like Robin James Hurt. Born in Belfast, raised in Scotland, and now calling Wexford home, his journey as a guitarist, singer, and songwriter has been nothing short of remarkable. A celebrated artist with a global fanbase, Robin’s career has seen him share stages with legends such as Ronnie Drew, Sinéad O’Connor, Finbar Furey, Camille O’Sullivan, and Linda Coogan Byrne, carving out a reputation for his raw energy, breathtaking musicality, and unparalleled storytelling.
‘Take Me Home’ is a rousing folk-rock anthem that captures the bittersweet pull of home for those who have left its shores. With searing instrumentation, impassioned vocals, and an energy that demands to be heard live.
But that’s just the beginning. 2025 marks a new era for Robin, as he prepares to release his highly anticipated album, ‘A Song, A Story Told’, the result of an exciting writing collaboration with the acclaimed Dublin singer-songwriter Tony Floyd Kenna.
