Daoiri Farrell/Damien O’Kane Trio

Dublin-born traditional singer and bouzouki player Daoirí (pronounced ‘Derry’) Farrell is being 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. He has recently won the All Ireland Champion Singer award at the Fleadh in Co. Derry, and the Danny Kyle Award at Celtic Connections.

Daoirí Farrell has been nominated for three BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2017 for Best Singer, Best Traditional Track and the Horizon Award for best newcomer.

Daoirí is a bit of a force of nature really, a rootsy oneman-band storyteller with great humour and presence and moments of heartfelt sensitivity
Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2 Folk Show

Northern Irish singer and multi-instrumentalist Damien O’Kane teams up with master guitarists Steven Byrnes (Treacherous Orchestra, Kate Rusby) and Steven Iveson’s (Damien O’Kane Band) in a trio that takes traditional Irish music and song and gives it a contemporary edge. Though a fulltime member of Kate Rusby’s band, O’Kane is a singer, a very good one too, with a relaxed, assured, hypnotic vocal style that exudes a natural warmth and empathy with the colourful characters who occupy his songs.
