Black Dog Radio Presents.......Folk At The Meadows

We are delighted to welcome the incredible Daoirí Farrell back to 'Folk at the Meadows'

Singer and bouzouki player Daoirí (pronounced ‘Derry’) Farrell is described by some of the biggest names in Irish folk music as one of most important singers to come out of Ireland in recent years. Six months after releasing the album ‘True Born Irishman’ Daoirí won two prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2017 for Best Newcomer and Best Traditional Track, and performed live at the awards ceremony at London’s Royal Albert Hall. 

Since then he has toured Ireland, the UK, Australia and Germany, and played at festivals in the same plus Canada, Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands and more. He has also toured with the all-star Transatlantic Sessions to major venues across the UK and in joined Lúnasa as guest vocalist for U.S. touring. 

His fourth album, ‘The Wedding Above In Glencree’, recorded with Trevor Hutchinson of The Waterboys/Lunasa was released in 2023 and gained him a nomination as Folk Singer of the Year in Ireland’s RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards.

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