Landless (Lily Power, Meabh Meir, Ruth Clinton and Sinead Lynch) are a traditional Irish vocal group from Dublin and Belfast who sing unaccompanied traditional songs from Ireland, Scotland, England & America in four-part harmony. They released their debut album, Bleaching Bones, on Humble Serpent records - its first release - earlier this year. Ahead of a couple of live dates around the country, Ruth talked to Eoghan about how the band started, the key role of Sacred Harp singing in their growth, how the label came onboard, and their part in the folk scene in Ireland.
