Daoiri Farrell

Dublin singer and bouzouki player Daoirí Farrell burst on to the international folk music scene with two prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2017 for Best Newcomer and Best Traditional Track, performing live at the awards ceremony at London’s Royal Albert Hall. His breakthrough album, ‘True Born Irishman’, released the previous year, introduced him as a remarkable new voice in Irish traditional music.

Folk Radio UK/KLOF said of Daoirí, ‘He has the best Irish traditional voice currently around; if there’s better, I’ve yet to hear it.’

He has gone on to perform across the world, be hailed by the greats of Irish folk music, receive numerous nominations in Ireland’s RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards, tour the UK with the Transatlantic Sessions and the USA as guest vocalist for Lúnasa and even sing on the BBC Radio 4 Today Programme.

In 2027 the Tonkünstler Orchestra and Daoirí will perform songs and tunes from Daoirí’s catalogue, arranged by Gast Waltzing, in The Musikverein in Vienna.

‘His powerfully unadorned vocals might be from any era, variously recalling Paul Brady and Andy Irvine…it’s a powerful statement.’ **** Mojo
