About / Biography

Poems from Ago, a duo formed by Juliana Hahn and Remco Jacobs, compose and perform music to Irish Poetry as well as original songs and some covers. They select Irish poems that they hold deep in their hearts written by wonderful poets such as W.B. Yeats, James Joyce and Oscar Wilde as well as modern-day poets like Sinead Morrisey and Peter Fallon.

They have a unique sound and style, blending harmonies and creating compositions that evolve from the meaning and imagery the chosen poem has inspired in them. A violin, a guitar and two voices will take you on a journey through Irish landscapes, emotions and images and encourage you to connect and find your own meaning in your experience while listening.

Their duo is ideal for house concerts, but also weddings or dinner parties.

They have performed in festivals, living room concerts, weddings and venues around Ireland.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Our favourite gig was Sofar Sounds Utrecht. We performed in this beautiful spacious venue, approximately 100 people sitting on the floor all around us and you couldn't hear a pin drop it was so quiet. There was a great connection to the music and audience.


What's your favourite type of event?

Living room concerts, wedding processions and small halls.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We started gigging together years ago as part of a big music collective. We've branched off into a duo and have been performing 3 years ago at various concerts, venues, weddings, funerals and house concerts.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We love Feist, leanord Cohen, Adrienne Lenker, Villagers. The greatest song of all time: impossible to answer but at the moment it's 'Courage' by Villagers.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Normally we arrive 45 minutes before performance to set up, check the acoustics. We normally perform 2 x 45min sets.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Happy to perform outside as long as there is shade and some sort set up we can plug into as outside, acoustic sound doesn't travel far.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We can learn specific songs before the event for an extra fee and we limit it to 3 songs. We also can compose songs if it's for a wedding for instance. the client can tell us about themselves and some details of what they'd like in the songs and we can compose a tailored song for their wedding.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Soothing, heartwarming, heartfelt and connected with nature.
