The Gloaming 2 is the second album from Irish based contemporary fusion supergroup The Gloaming, which features Irish traditional greats such as Iarla O Lionaird, Caoimhin O Raghallaigh, Denis Cahill, Martin Hayes and Thomas Bartlett, who following the critical success in Ireland of the first record, greatly recapture the essence of beauty and subtleness on the new second record. While Ireland is a small nation, the diversity in styles between traditional music players from different counties and parishes a few dozen miles apart is a thing of no small wonder, helping to create the magic that is The Gloaming.
