Lynched

Band,
World and Folk
A.k.a. Lankum

Dublin Folk Miscreants originally formed as an experimental-psychedelic-folk-punk-duo by brothers Ian and Daragh Lynch in the early 2,000’s, and has since progressed through a number of incarnations, culminating in the four piece group playing today (along with Cormac MacDiarmada and Radie Peat who joined in 2012). They have gained somewhat of a reputation after the realease of their album ‘Cold Old Fire’ and an appearance on Later… with Jools Holland as well as three nominations at the 2016 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Having spent a number of years performing as Lynched, the band decided that they would no longer continue with the name due to the unavoidable implications that it has in regards to acts of racist violence. (This was first publicly announced in an Instagram posting by the band on 19 October 2016, which noted that the band "will complete all gigs booked under our current name until February 2017, after which we will be working under the name Lankum".)
