Fermanagh Indie-Folk duo Laytha released their wonderful new single, ‘Strawberry Moon’ last Thursday, September 8.
The track is taken from their debut album – scheduled for a November release – and is typical of their trademark harmony-infused Alt-Folk.
Laytha have released their new single 'Strawberry Moon'.
The Enniskillen-based songwriters write about daughterhood, their home and the raw, rugged landscape of Ireland.
They are fresh off the heels of an exciting year, to date, which has seen them release a debut trio of singles, which were supported across national radio in both Ireland and internationally and saw them perform alongside artists such as Joshua Burnside, Saint Sister and Niamh Regan.

Speaking about the track, the duo say: “Strawberry Moon is about how people deal with loss and work through their emotions.
“It was inspired by a gig we went to where the artists were dealing with a lot, including grieving the loss of a very dear friend. We were in complete admiration of how they channeled their emotions into their performances and drew us into a moment that was purely theirs – something we tried to capture in this song.”
