Kings Place welcomes Dublin-born singer and bouzouki player Daoirí Farrell, who, according to Irish Music ‘….is singlehandedly spearheading a resurgence of the authentic in Irish folk music… he is rightly in demand all over the world.’

It’s commonly accepted Daoirí Farrell is one of most important singers to come out of Ireland in recent years. A product of Dublin’s famous club An Góilin Traditional Singers, since launching his own solo live career at the 2016 Celtic Connections, Daoirí Farrell has gone from strength to strength. On the verge of releasing his fourth solo album in early 2023, he can boast numerous honours from BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards to ALSR Celtic Music accolades.

He has received endorsements from the likes of Christy Moore (‘Daoirí has assumed the mantle of Luke [Kelly]’), Mark Radcliffe (‘What a voice’) and Dónal Lunny (‘Daoirí is one of the most important traditional singers to emerge in the last decade’), with his music and live performances earning the acclaim of respected publications including MOJO, The Irish Post, Songlines and more.

(‘It’s “Derry” for those of you don’t know me yet’).

This performance will be approx. 2 hours including an interval.
