Daoirí Farrell

‘Daoirí Farrell is singlehandedly spearheading a resurgence of the authentic in Irish folk music… he is rightly in demand all over the world.’ Irish Music Magazine 

 

Singer and bouzouki player Daoirí (pronounced ‘Derry’) Farrell holds two prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. He has toured and played festivals across the world as well as touring the UK with the all-star Transatlantic Sessions. 

 

It’s commonly accepted that Daoirí is one of most important singers to come out of Ireland in recent years. A product of Dublin’s famous club An Góilin Traditional Singers, since launching his own solo live career at the 2016 Celtic Connections, Daoirí Farrell has gone from strength to strength. He has received endorsements from the likes of Christy Moore (‘Daoirí has assumed the mantle of Luke [Kelly]’), Mark Radcliffe (‘What a voice’) and Dónal Lunny (‘Daoirí is one of the most important traditional singers to emerge in the last decade’), with his music and live performances earning the acclaim of respected publications including MOJO, The Irish Post, Songlines and more.

 

Daoirí’s fourth album, ‘The Wedding Above In Glencree’, recorded with Trevor Hutchinson (Lúnasa/The Waterboys), was released in February ’23 with new material from the album performed on this, his autumn ’23 album tour.
