It’s that time again: The Gloaming are back

As The Gloaming begin their seven-night sold out run at the NCH, they tell Ellie O’Byrne about the logistics of getting such a widely-dispersed group together

IT HAS become something of an annual tradition for The Gloaming to sell out the National Concert Hall. There’s a nice symmetry to it: the contemporary trad supergroup held their debut performance in the 1,200-seat Dublin venue in 2011 and sold out that first night even when, the band has joked, they hadn’t had a chance to write any music.
