Introducing Ranagri
Ranagri is an award-winning indie folk band uniting the best of Irish and English traditions with a cinematic, prog-infused edge. Founded by songwriter and producer Dónal Rogers, they bring together a rich palette of instruments — from guitar and bouzouki to harp, flutes, whistles, hammered dulcimer, and bodhrán — all underpinned by soaring vocals and close-knit harmonies.
A Sound That Moves
What makes Ranagri so special is their balance between energy and intimacy. Described by BBC Radio 2’s Mark Radcliffe as “a really serious proposition live,” their performances are praised for rhythmic drive, emotional depth, and what Katie Derham on BBC Radio 3 called “a sound that’s completely new and immediately makes you want to dance.” They’re equally at home on festival stages as in smaller, more reflective settings — a musical experience that feels both expansive and deeply human.
Rooted, Yet Always Evolving
With five studio albums and a wealth of international touring experience — from Europe to Australia, Montreal and New Orleans — Ranagri have built a formidable reputation on the global stage. Their new album, the centrepiece of the Say Hello Tour, explores themes of migration, identity, and the search for home, steeped in the stories of the rural Irish farmland from which the band takes its name.
Why You’ll Love Their Show
Ranagri’s concerts are more than just music — they’re a journey. Their songs carry you through moments of joy, reflection, and wonder, delivered with warmth and world-class craftsmanship. Whether you want to listen quietly or be swept up in their storytelling, Ranagri’s performance is a heartfelt invitation into a world where tradition meets innovation — and where, as one reviewer put it, “the detective in the listener knows they have struck gold.”
