The Gloaming took shape in 2011 when Irish master musicians Martin Hayes, Caoimhin Ó Raghallaigh and singer Iarla Ó Lionáird (ex-Afro Celt Sound System) teamed up with two Americans - innovative Chicago guitarist Dennis Cahill and NYC pianist/producer Thomas Bartlett, aka Doveman - in a bold experiment. It yielded the group a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award, a #1 chart hit in Ireland, and an unprecedented 17 consecutive sold-out concerts at the National Concert Hall in Dublin. This first live album features performances of stunning artistry from what have become annual residencies for the sought-after ensemble, whose busy solo schedules rarely align for their always sold-out touring. Known for his work with St. Vincent, Sufjan Stevens, Father John Misty and more, Bartlett laces dramatic texture throughout with his dark, edgy playing. Never reiterating the traditions of Irish music, The Gloaming come at it askance with spellbinding skill, shining revelatory new light on something old and treasured.

One of, if not THE greatest live record ever made! The Gloaming consists of virtuosos. Martin Hayes is Irish toddler exemplar!

Folk but not as we know it ...
New band to me stumbled upon through an internet search. Some of the tunes are challenging but well worth the effort. I'd have just loved to have seen and heard this live - perhaps one day when their UK concerts aren't sold out! The musicality and energy is phenomenal, but can be gentle and haunting too. Not tired of listening to them yet!

室内楽風ケルトの心地よいライブ
アフロ・ケルトＳＳで活躍する男性ボーカリストの、ケルト音楽をシンプルな室内楽風アレンジで表現しようというプロジェクト。スタジオ版は内省的過ぎるきらいがあり個人的にはやや退屈な印象を持ちましたが、ライブの本作はとても良かったです。静か目の曲も終始軽やかで適度に緊張感があり、中盤と終盤にドラマティックな盛り上がりがあるので１枚通して聴いてもダレない。特にピアノのセンスが良く、僅かな音数で幻想性を再現。変にゴチャゴチャと電子楽器入れるよりこっちの方がずっとイイとも思えます。じっくり聴いても、ドライブのお伴にも良しという感じ。
