WemsFest Welcomes back Celtic Five Piece

Organised by : Wemsfest

Imar are one of the most exciting bands of their genre, and they return to the area soon.

The band members hold a plethora of All-Ireland and All-Britain music titles, including, amongst others, BBC Folk and BBC Radio Scotland Awards. Imar comprise: Adam Brown (bodhrán), Adam Rhodes (bouzouki), Mohsen Amini (concertina), Ryan Murphy (uilleann pipes) and Tomás Callister (fiddle) share a strong background in Irish music although only Murphy actually hails from Ireland; Rhodes and Callister are from the Isle of Man, whilst Amini is a Glasgow native, and Brown originally from Suffolk and it is these foundations which underpin many of Ímars distinctive qualities, in both instrumentation and material.

The bands unmistakable synergy centres on the overlapping cultural heritage between Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man. All three places once shared the same Gaelic language and a similar kinship endures between their musical traditions.
