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

Dublin-born traditional singer and bouzouki player Daoirí (pronounced ‘Derry’) Farrell has been 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. ‘It doesn’t get much better than that. The real deal. What a voice.’ Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2 Folk Show
