Ranagri are Jordan Murray, Eleanor Dunsdon, Eliza Marshall, DoĢnal Rogers and they have forged a new and contemporary sound on the folk scene, winning audiences at home and internationally, an energetic festival band yet equally at home with their more intimate writing and thought provoking lyrics. They are as happy to make you dance as they are to make you smile or shed a tear, passionately delving into current world topics, playing with politics, and creating uplifting music to lyrics with great depth.
Their recent release - ‘Tradition II’ - is the sequel to their acclaimed album ‘Tradition’ - exploring traditional folk songs - deconstructing and reconstructing - trying to eek out alternative meaning whilst adding the unique Ranagri flavours; harp, flutes, guitars, dulcimer, percussion all woven together with lead vocals and harmonies.
Festival performances include Cambridge, Towersey and Montelago, venues as diverse as Birmingham Symphony Hall to Topic Folk Club, all of which are loved in equal measure. Recent headline slots include Lyme Folk Weekend and Baafest and this Autumn they tour throughout Germany, followed by a new collaboration with pop legend Tony Christie.
They are looking to tour in the Spring and Autumn, specifically 10th-16th April and 2nd-8th October and in Germany on 1st-12th November. They are open to one off dates as well and would also like to enjoy another great festival season in 2023.
