Galway musician and leading harp maker go back to the future with hybrid modern-medieval harp
A GALWAY WOMAN has today launched a new harp – a blend of the modern Irish harp and its ancient predecessor – and a debut album recorded on the instrument. The harp was conceived by Úna Ní Fhlannagáin during the Covid pandemic. Having been invited by Athenry Arts and Heritage Centre in 2020 to make a series of videos on the Irish harp as she was unable to perform given the restrictions in place at the time, she grew 'entranced' by the ancient harp. The ancient harp has metal strings, while the modern harp has nylon strings. The difference in strings results in a different technique to produce music. Ní Fhlannagáin had the idea to create an instrument with both to allow past and present music to conjoin. With support from Music Network, she joined forces with renowned wire strung harp expert Paul Dooley, and commissioned him to design and build the instrument. Five years later, the harp has successfully been completed. Speaking to The Journal , the harpist explained how the instrument differs in technique and the sounds it can produce. After being commissioned by the Athenry Arts Centre to produce the videos on the harp, she said, 'I had this space and I had the time motivation to do this deep dive into the sound I'd always loved. Advertisement 'I started dreaming of a new type of harp where I could access the beautiful sound of the wire strings, but use my finger pads, use the training that I had for decades, and play the different types of music that I was used to performing, and innovate with the different cultural influences I had gathered throughout my career.' The new harp has bronze strings, and the one-piece soundbox of the early Gaelic harp. The soundbox is made from Irish willow from Leitrim, and the harp has the string-spacing of a modern Irish harp. The string-spacing enables the player to play using either fingernails or fingerpads. The hybrid instrument also has the range and sharping levers of the modern Irish harp, which enables the player to perform a broad range of genres. Ní Fhlannagáin explained that the most ancient sound in Ireland is the sound of the wire strings of the early Gaelic harp. 'It's my dream that the harpers and musicians and people of Ireland would be able to access that beautiful sound as much as possible,' she said. She said that she hopes that everyone who visits, lives in, or is interested in Ireland will be able to experience the ancient sound. 'I would love to see it become a part of our living culture, and to see many fingers, many hands and many artistic voices, begin to explore this beautiful, ancient sound,' she said. Ní Fhlannagaín has recorded her debut album on the instrument, which contains 14 of her original compositions. It launches at 7pm this evening – the seventh of the seventh – in a nod to Irish ties to the number. Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

BoolaBoom: 13 horns, 10 samba drummers, and a whole lot of Cork attitude
What happens when a 24-piece brass band meets house music? Shuffle, a carnival-esque, anthemic track that wouldn't feel out of place on a dancefloor, and the latest from Cork band BoolaBoom. BoolaBoom is a super-sized brass and percussion big-band – 13 horn players, ten samba drummers and one repinique, to be exact – and a budding collaboration between some of Cork's top jazz musicians and drummers from the Cork City Samba Band. They launched in early 2023, with a legendary first performance. 'Outside the GPO on Paddy's Day,' Darragh 'Doc' O'Connor, a long-standing member of the Cork music scene and chief organiser and conductor, says. 'Hundreds arrived. It got to a stage where we were slightly worried about health and safety, which is always a good sign. There was actually a momentary panic that we were going to be in the newspapers the next day for the wrong reasons. Turns out we got away with it, just about.' The band's members hail from a medley of countries – Ireland, Brazil, France, Chile, the UK, the US and New Zealand, 'we actually also have someone from Waterford which is pretty diverse, we have a rule not to mention the hurling' –to create a symphony of world-class musicianship. Though a small number of hard-working, scene-stealing brass bands already exist in Ireland, BoolaBoom differentiate themselves by playing across myriad genres––house, techno, jazz––as well as eschewing covers in favour of original music. 'Faithless' Insomnia does get a go every so often, though,' O'Connor laughs. 'Has to be said.' Shuffle is the titular track of the band's most recent EP, released in May to acclaim. Their 2024 single Summerhouse, remixed by French house maestro Llorca, also earned praise from the likes of Irish and international music fans; Dan Hegarty to Laurent Garnier, Beta Da Silva to Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy. With O'Connor, BoolaBoom – named for the Irish bualadh 'to strike' and Boom, the sound the Brazilian surdo drums make – are in exceptionally fervent hands. O'Connor, an electronic engineer by trade, boasts extensive knowledge of the Irish music scene and was previously taken notice of by French label Brick Rouge with soulful, jazzy house band Cartoon. 'A jack of all trades' is how he describes himself. 'One who isn't afraid of making phone calls and waving my arms around to keep people to keep people entertained.' Darragh O'Connor, BoolaBoom. Picture: Simon Curran With BoolaBoom, he and the band's members manage to get amongst the people by busking and performing myriad outdoor events, an entirely new skillset from licensed venues. 'You get to play for all the people who would never go into a pub or club,' he says. 'We've actually garnered a decent Indian following, who wouldn't traditionally have pub culture. There was one time when we noticed a few of them on their phones the entire gig, only for them to come up to us and show us that they were on Zoom calls to home, showing them what real live Irish music is like.' Brass bands were thought to have been borne of a few interconnecting sliding doors moments in 19th-century Britain. At the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, the invention of the valve that revolutionised brass instruments meant players returned to civilian life, despite dreams to keep playing. Meanwhile, the Industrial Revolution meant business-minded individuals quickly exploited the new technologies, creating jobs and rising living standards. As such, people gradually lost the opportunity to partake in traditional rural entertainments and pursuits, and so they turned to brass bands to feel alive again. Today's brass bands exist within similar parameters. Speaking to real, human connection in a time when opportunities for such are few. BoolaBoom are regularly described by critics and punters as an excellent festival band – house music icon Kerri Chandler personally asked them to perform with him at his sold-out Cyprus Avenue show after seeing a video of them busking – but perhaps what people really mean is that they remind us of what could be as opposed to what is. As arts funding continues to be compromised, outfits like BoolaBand continue to open their doors for anyone to receive a free education. All they ask for in return is for us to listen. 'We always say what we want to do is play good gigs to as many people as we can,' O'Connor says. 'And as a 24-piece band, the money is rarely good, if anything. That said, our payment is in dopamine, craic and playing good music. And once that continues on, we'll keep playing.' BoolaBoom will play at All Together Now on August 3. Shuffle is out now. See
