Ranagri's Say Hello Tour heralds a bold new era for this award-winning indie folk band, bringing their signature cinematic, prog-infused folk music to venues up and down the UK this Autumn.

With five studio albums under their belt, a wealth of international touring experience, and standout appearances at major festivals, Ranagri have built a formidable reputation on the global stage, captivating audiences from across Europe to Australia, Montreal and New Orleans. Now, they turn inward, reconnecting with their roots for what promises to be their most evocative and personal tour to date.

Steeped in stories of Ranagri – the farmland in rural Ireland from which the band takes its name – their new album explores themes of migration, identity, and the enduring search for the meaning of home. It is a work of depth and resonance, shaped by lived experiences and a profound sense of place.

Renowned for their commanding live performances, the band delivers a sound that is both intricate and expansive. Soaring vocals, rich harmonies, and driving rhythmic energy intertwine with masterful instrumentation – flutes, whistles, harp, bodhrán, hammered dulcimer, percussion and guitars – forming a virtuosic and immersive soundscape around lead singer Dónal Rogers. The result is a musical experience that feels at once intimate, powerful, and unmistakably anthemic.

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
