the olllam and Astro Bloc

With a name derived from the old Irish for a grand master of a skill, the olllam is a Transatlantic collective of formidable talent, marrying stunning instrumental virtuosity, Irish tradition, and Detroit’s post-rock psych-sensibility.

Support comes from Astro Bloc, a dynamic folk band that blends deep-rooted tradition with boundary-pushing creativity. Featuring BBC Radio Scotland’s Young Traditional Musician of the Year Eryn Rae, internationally renowned percussionist Paul Jennings, multi-award-winning instrumentalist Éadaoin Ní Mhaicín, and the genre-spanning talent of Gillie Ó Flaherty, Astro Bloc is breathing fresh life into the folk scene.
