Lankum recently had a memorable Tiny Desk concert after facing numerous hurdles while traveling from Ireland to the US. Despite visa issues and van troubles, the band eventually made it to the performance, where they learned that their album "The Livelong Day" had won Ireland's Choice Music Prize Album of the Year.

Comprised of Ian Lynch, Daragh Lynch, Cormac MacDiarmada, and Radie Peat, Lankum impressed with their blend of traditional Irish music and contemporary elements. The quartet's use of uilleann pipes, harmonium, concertina, and vocals showcased a unique and emotionally stirring sound.

Originating as a duo known as Lynched, the band expanded with the addition of Peat and MacDiarmada, leading to the release of albums like "Cold Old Fire" and "Between the Earth and Sky." Their fourth studio album, "False Lankum," released in 2023, garnered critical acclaim and increased the band's recognition, earning nominations for the Mercury Prize and other accolades. With their innovative approach to Irish folk music, Lankum continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
