Post Description

It’s commonly accepted that Dublin-born singer and bouzouki player 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 has gone from strength to strength seeing him tour and play festival stages across the world. 

This is an album full of heart. Daoirí Farrell’s voice is hewn from the same source that begot Luke Kelly’s declamatory style, and he’s an able torch bearer for our folk song tradition.

His fourth album is a thoughtful collection of songs, some big (The Foggy Dew, Slieve Gallion Braes), some more contemporary (Pecker Dunne’s Sullivan’s John) and others short stories with an epic quality (Young Emmet).

Farrell has invested deeply in the production of this album, with some finely calibrated guest appearances from musicians including piper Mark Redmond, bluegrass dobro player Jerry Douglas, and guitar/bouzouki master Manus Lunny. The formative influence of An Góilín Traditional Singers Club is writ large throughout this collection, with Farrell’s delivery clearly trained on his listeners, whether in person or virtual. In an age of attention deficits, Daoirí's inclusion of epic stories (the title track has 9 verses) is a further doffing of his cap to the song session tradition.
