MCD Productions presents The Wran

Emerging from the Comeragh’s of County Waterford in Ireland, four brothers –Tommy, Danny, Sean, and Stephen Dunford–form the heart of the brand-new trad. fusion band, The Wran.

Inspired by the likes of Moving Hearts, Lankum, Planxty, and Mary Wallopers, The Wran  infuse traditional Irish tunes with a punkish attitude and a psychedelic edge – powerhouse stuff; intense and furious and then at times dynamic and gentle. There’s something about hearing four brothers sing in harmony that cuts right to the bone. Their performances weave old folk tunes with original compositions, built upon banjo, acoustic guitar, accordion, harmonium, electric guitar, bass and drums.

The band has only begun their journey, but their dynamic energy and musical prowess leave an enduring impact. In 2025 The Wran appear at Glastonbury, All Together Now, Electric Picnic, Vantastival, Ealu Le Gra, TuneFest, Fuinneamh, Greenman, Greenbelt and Beautiful Days.
