Poems Ago is a duo formed by Juliana Hahn and Remco Jacobs, who create and perform musical settings of Irish poetry alongside original songs. Inspired by poems they hold close to their hearts, they bring to life works by beloved poets such as W. B. Yeats, James Joyce and Oscar Wilde.
With violin, guitar and two voices, they take listeners on a gentle journey through Irish landscapes, emotions and imagery, creating a reflective and intimate musical atmosphere.
Their music is particularly suited to special moments and small gatherings, including wedding ceremonies, recitals and intimate concerts.

We recently performed at a wedding ceremony held in a beautiful old abbey in County Kildare. The couple had commissioned us to set one of their favourite poems to music, and we performed it for them during the ceremony. Sharing that moment with them in such a special setting made it a truly memorable experience.
Intimate and personal events held in historic places.
We started gigging together years ago as part of a big music collective. We've branched off into a duo and have been writing music and performing together for about four years.
We love Leonard Cohen, Villagers and Simon & Garfunkel. The greatest song of all time: impossible to answer but at the moment it's 'Courage' by Villagers.
Yes, we love composing new music. Whether it’s setting your favourite poem to music, writing a personal song for a loved one, or creating a lullaby for a child or grandchild, we’re delighted to take on commissions as part of our service.
Normally we arrive 45 minutes before performance to set up, check the acoustics. We normally perform 2 x 45min sets.
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.
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.
Soothing, heartwarming, heartfelt and connected with nature.
