Irish music heroes Gráda reunite to tour their homelands - Ireland and Aotearoa.
From Sydney Opera House and Ireland’s National Concert Hall to Upper Moutere: with over 1,000 cities in 30 countries over 10 years under their belt,
Gráda are to Irish music what Arcade Fire is to Indie - informal, prodigious and full of spirit. - The Washington Post
A highlight on the traditional Irish music scene from 2001 - 2011 Gráda's sound is rooted in trad, while drawing influences from folk, jazz, world music and Americana. The band’s live shows exude energy, with an improvisation element that made them unique within the trad music world. The repertoire is seeded with original songs and instrumentals that have captured the imaginations of audiences all around the world.
