Dara Dubh
Irish Folk Nights
Irish harpist and singer-songwriter Dara Dubh brings her full band to Kings Place for a Sunday afternoon Irish Folk Nights show, the only London date of her debut album tour. Come and hear the harp with live looping, bodhrán and a voice that shifts from whisper-soft to unapologetically powerful without warning.
Dara Dubh’s songs sit somewhere between heartfelt confession and a good kick up the road. Raised on Irish trad in Ballycastle, Co. Antrim, and based in Edinburgh since 2019, she takes the harp well beyond its traditional home, building songs live with looping and bodhrán and blending folk, indie and rock.
This Sunday matinee is one of only two full band shows on her February 2027 UK tour, and her only London date. It follows the release of her debut album Go Like Crazy Big Moon on 20 November 2026, which includes the singles ‘Belfast Mona Lisa’, ‘Push/Pull (not falling for you)’, ‘Desert Lady’ and ‘A Pirate Named Valkyrie’.
Over the last two years, Dara has toured with Chasing Abbey, opened for BIIRD, performed at the Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony with Valtos and sold out shows across Scotland, Ireland and Italy.
This event will last approximately 110 minutes, including an interval.
