Rún

Rún (the Gaelic word for ‘secret, wish or love’) were founded in 2007 by Co. Down singer/harper and member of the London Lasses, Brona McVittie, after a trip to Donegal to explore Irish legend and lore through song. The London-based band has performed at many clubs and venues, including the Royal Festival Hall Foyer, the Union Chapel, the National Theatre Foyer, FrontRoom at the Queen Elizabeth Hall and the London Irish Centre.

The band’s festival appearances have included Upton Folk Festival, Glastonbury, Lewisham People’s Day, Lovebox, Lambeth Country Show, Crawley Folk Festival, Return to Camden Town, Rhythms of the World, Celtic Connections and the recent Festival of Britain on the South Bank.

In November 2009, Rún released a 5-track CD, Beidh Aonach Amárach (There's a Fair Tomorrow), to showcase their Irish and Scots Gaelic material. They have since expanded their repertoire to include Celtic-language songs in Manx, Cornish, Welsh and Breton. Their new CD, Sé: Songs from the Six Celtic Nations, has just been released.
