“What an enchanting sound this group produces and what a lovely relationship they form instantly with their audience. Simple and powerful.” Jude Kelly (Artistic Director, Southbank Centre, London)

Rún gives new life to old songs. With a repertoire based on four-part harmony interpretations of Celtic songs about one-horned cows, red-haired girls, hayropes and bogeymen, the group performs acapella and with lever harp. Rún is the Gaelic word for ‘secret, wish or love’. The London-based act has performed at many folk clubs and venues including the Royal Festival Hall Foyer, the Union Chapel, the National Theatre Foyer, the FrontRoom at the Queen Elizabeth Hall and Camden Irish Centre. In 2009 their summer festival tour took them to Upton Folk Festival, Glastonbury, Lewisham People’s Day, Lovebox and Lambeth Country Show. In 2010 they return to Upton Folk Festival, Lambeth Country Show and feature in Crawley Folk Festival and Rhythms of the World Festival. They have supported a variety of high-profile folk artists including John McSherry, Zoe Conway and Martin Simpson. Check the news page for more info…
