Event information
"No ordinary Irish folk singer."
A former electrician, who decided to become a musician after seeing Christy Moore perform on Irish TV, Dublin-born traditional singer and bouzouki player Daoirí (pronounced ‘Derry’) Farrell has been described by some of the biggest names in Irish folk music as one of most important singers to come out of Ireland in recent years.
Daoirí had cut his teeth as a singer in Dublin’s famous Góilin Singers Club and at other sessions across the city, many of which he still visits regularly. Following his studies he quickly found work accompanying artists including Christy Moore, as well as a list of names that sounds like a who’s who of folk music.
Daoirí finally stepped into the limelight in his own right, launching his own solo live career at Celtic Connections, in January 2016. In May the same year he was invited to fly to Manchester to do a live session on the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe just a week before his first UK tour. His name was suddenly everywhere and festival and show dates started to stream in from across the world.
The following spring his won two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards – Best Traditional Track and Best Newcomer – and performed with a six piece line-up at the awards ceremony at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

In the light of the general COVID trend we have decided that we are now able to start cautiously relaxing our special precautions. We are no longer checking temperatures on entry and the wearing of masks is now a personal preference. However we ask that you continue to take sensible precautions like accepting any government advice regarding vaccination and testing and, of course, staying at home if you have any symptoms that could possibly indicate an infection. We will continue to make hand sanitiser available and keep a supply of masks on-hand for those who would like one.
