Trad Night: Macdara Yeates
Cecil Sharp House, NW1 7AY , [Venue Details]Irish folk singer Macdara Yeates is making a solo splash in a golden age for traditional singing in Ireland.
Born and raised in Dublin, Macdara Yeates is one of a crop of artists associated with the recent resurgence of young folk talent in the Irish capital, alongside acts such as Lankum, Ye Vagabonds, and Landless. From 2013 to 2017, Yeates served as a member of the seven-piece trad ensemble Skipper’s Alley, recording and touring across the UK, Europe, India, Canada, and the USA.
Following the release of his debut album, Traditional Singing from Dublin, Macdara was nominated for two RTÉ Radio One Folk Awards. Named in MOJO’s Top 10 Folk Albums of the Year and nominated for two RTÉ Folk Awards, it features a rich store of old and weathered folk songs, ranging from the comic and surreal to the mournful and disconsolate.
With a stentorian voice described as “a bracing, baleful, baritone that sounds as if it's been dug from the deepest, most fragrant turf” (Songlines), Macdara is ploughing his furrow as a solo performer, garnering wide critical praise and performing on some of the most coveted stages in folk music, from An Góilín Traditional Singers’ Circle to the Sidmouth Folk Festival.
