Ímar

17th August
BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winners, Irish/Manx/Scottish quintet Ímar are amongst Glasgow's hottest folk property. The group's collective synergy and live energy is positively electric. Adam Brown (bodhrán), Adam Rhodes (bouzouki), Mohsen Amini (concertina), Ryan Murphy (uilleann pipes) and Tomás Callister (fiddle) share a strong background in Irish music: a grounding that underpins many of Ímar's distinctive qualities in both instrumentation and material. 'Striking musicianship, artful arrangements and sheer absolute delight' (Songlines). 'Genuinely jaw-dropping collective virtuosity supplied frills to burn' (Scotsman).
