Dallahan
Forged out of the traditional Folk music scenes of Scotland and Ireland—yet influenced by the sounds of the Balkans, North America, and far beyond—Dallahan have spent over a decade guiding audiences through a musical world tour of their own making.
Their dazzling live show, marked by restless creativity and stunning virtuosity, has come to be defined by its refusal to sit still. Guitarist and singer Jack Badcock, banjo player Ciaran Ryan, accordionist Andrew Waite, and fiddler Benedict Morris form the band that has evolved continuously while somehow remaining rooted in the traditions that first brought them together.
Along the way, Dallahan have brought their music to 25 countries, earned five nominations for Folk Band of the Year, two shortlists for Album of the Year, an Emerging Excellence Award (2014) and won Instrumental Track of the Year (2016).
Now, with well over a decade together, Dallahan stand as a veteran touring outfit whose sound has matured without ever losing its exploratory spark. Their worldwide cult following—built slowly, show by show, across several continents—reflects a band that has grown into its own identity while continually pushing its boundaries, seasoned, adventurous, and unmistakably Dallahan.
This event will last approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes, including the interval.
