Touring Latest Album ‘‘A Little Bit Slanted’’
The Ciderhouse Rebellion with Molly Donnery cast their evocative magic over songs born of tradition. From the misty beauties of Mo Bhuachaillín Donn to the joyous race of Murphy’s Running Dog - their hugely exciting collaboration showcases undeniable talent with electrifying performances.
Masters of improvisation The Ciderhouse Rebellion (accordionist Murray Grainger and fiddle player Adam Summerhayes) are joined by stellar Irish singer Molly Donnery ( The Haar) creating incredible albums (debut album came out Spring 2024) alongside national and international tours.
“You will find the traditional Irish songs intact but with added vitality, each track supercharged in subtly different ways”- KLOF Magazine
Already acclaimed in their own rights (multiple FATEA awards and championed by the likes of Phil Beer, BBC Radio 3, and FRUK) the new trio draw listeners into the very heart of the music with each performance being uniquely magical in its improvisatory focus. There’s something quite special about The Ciderhouse Rebellion with Molly Donnery and many in the scene seem to agree after prestigious live shows at venues such as London’s Green Note and Birmingham’s Kitchen Garden.
With exquisite playing from Summerhayes and Grainger, Molly Donnery’s vocals have found a creative match that is truly spellbinding - as their live shows and recent YouTube video demonstrate.
