Britain's What's On Event Guide
Grayshott Folk Club introduces: RANAGRI
Anglo/Irish Indie-Folk band Ranagri are renowned for their commanding live performances.
The band delivers a sound that is both intricate and expansive. Soaring vocals, rich harmonies, and driving rhythmic energy intertwine with masterful instrumentation – flutes, whistles, harp, bodhrán, hammered dulcimer, percussion and guitars – forming a virtuosic and immersive sound-scape around lead singer Dónal Rogers.
Ranagri are: Dónal Rogers, a singer, guitarist, prolific song writer and producer, who joined forces with the exceptional flautist Eliza Marshall (elizamarshall.com/), harpist Eleanor Dunsdon and percussionist Jordan Murray. Together, they established a fresh and modern sonic landscape within the Folk genre, captivating audiences both domestically and internationally. They can be a full-on, energetic Festival band but are equally at home playing Folk Clubs with their more intimate writing and thought-provoking lyrics.
Now, they turn inward, reconnecting with their roots for what promises to be their most evocative and personal tour to date. Steeped in stories of Ranagri – the farmland in rural Ireland from which the band takes its name – their new, crowd-funded Say Hello album, explores themes of migration, identity and the enduring search for the meaning of home. It is a work of depth and resonance, shaped by lived experiences and a profound sense of place.
