plus support

Wed 16th Mar 2022

Whelan’s Upstairs

Dublin 5 piece indie folk act Black Bank Folk return from the covid hiatus!!

Fresh from the studio, where the band completed the recording of their 3 rd album (pencilled for release in summer 2022) the band are excited to get back on stage for their first Irish gigs in 2 years.

A powerful blend of folk songwriting with indie guitar rhythms and beats weaved together with the traditional shades of whistles, fiddle and uilleann pipes. With new singles, an album, and touring to follow 2022 promises to kick the band to the next level. Starting in Whelans…
