Landless
The Irish quartet Landless consists of Lily Power, Méabh Meir, Ruth Clinton and Sinéad Lynch. They found each other on Dublin’s traditional singing scene and have been creating exquisite harmonies together since 2013, interpreting ancient Irish ballads as well as newer folk songs from a variety of sources. The quartet’s sound is at once spellbinding, dark and majestic. Expect a spine-tingling experience as the four singers fill the room with their powerful voices.
In 2018, Landless released their critically acclaimed debut album Bleaching Bones, followed in 2024 by Lúireach, which was met with equally enthusiastic reviews. The album is filled with quiet power, reimagining traditional songs about melancholy, love, death and mystery in new and surprising ways, at times accompanied by instruments. Many of the songs on the album tell of bold women who challenge the passive female archetype often found in traditional songs. “It is refreshing to find songs that challenge this power dynamic, but we are not totally hard-line about it, and sing plenty of old-fashioned love songs,” says Ruth Clinton of the quartet. Look forward to songs of both courage and devotion when Landless bring their captivating, moving and powerful sound to ALICE.
