DAOIRÍ FARRELL
plus support
Whelan’s Main Venue • Wed 8th Oct 2025
‘His powerfully unadorned vocals might be from any era, variously recalling Paul Brady and Andy Irvine…it’s a powerful statement.’ **** Mojo
Since launching his own solo live career at the 2016, folk singer and bouzouki master Daoirí Farrell has gone from strength to strength, with numerous honours from BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards to ALSR Celtic Music accolades and worldwide touring including the National Folk Festival (Australia), Vancouver Island Festival (Canada), Cambridge Folk Festival (UK), Rudolstadt Folk Festival (Germany) and many more. He has also received endorsements from the likes of Christy Moore (‘Daoirí has assumed the mantle of Luke [Kelly]’) and Mark Radcliffe (‘What a voice’).
Daoirí’s long-awaited fourth album, The Wedding Above In Glencree, was released in 2023 and made the RTÉ Radio 2 playlist in Ireland and reached number 11 on the Official UK Folk Albums Chart.
‘The Wedding Above In Glencree…a landmark album in Irish acoustic music.’ **** Songlines
