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.
His breakthrough album, ‘True Born Irishman’, released the previous year, introduced him as a remarkable new voice in Irish traditional music. He has gone on to perform across the world at festivals including Celtic Connections (Scotland), the National Folk Festival (Australia), Rudostadt Festival (Germany) and Cambridge Folk Festival (England).
He has been hailed by the greats of Irish folk music, received numerous nominations in Ireland’s RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards, toured the UK with the Transatlantic Sessions and the USA as guest vocalist for Lúnasa and even sung on the UK’s flagship new programme BBC Radio 4’s 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.
