The Haar – The Lost Day – out December 5th 2025

The Lost Day is a coming-of-age album, bursting with the poetic storytelling, heartbreaking remorse and hopeful anticipation that has become synonymous with The Haar’s authentic musical expression. Their honest, tender, yet epic iteration of traditional songs on this new album provides an extraordinary insight into the suffering, sorrow, hope and happiness of being a human.

Combining the staggering musicianship of Molly Donnery (vocals), Adam Summerhayes (fiddle), Murray Grainger (accordion) and Cormac Byrne (bodhrán), The Lost Day is a remarkable album from a band that has gained a loyal grassroots following, and are becoming one of the most in-demand and unique live acts in the UK and Irish folk scenes today.

“Ethereal and epic”….”if you’re looking for something with depth that will transport you to another place then this is the one for you.” Listen With Monger

“…poised between a number of worlds, holding you in suspension between refined words and music and the visceral reality of hard life.” Arts Culture Magazine


“…reminiscent of the work of the LYR project with Poet Laureate Simon Armitage. Perhaps more understated though, with the breathy vocals adding a fragile quality.” At The Barrier
