Meet Daoirí

Daoirí Farrell is a product of Dublin’s famous club An Góilin Traditional Singers. Since launching his own solo live career at the 2016 Celtic Connections, Daoirí Farrell has gone from strength to strength.

The 2013 All Ireland Champion Singer has achieved numerous other honours from multiple BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards nominations to ALSR Celtic Music accolades.

He has received endorsements from the likes of Christy Moore (“Daoirí has assumed the mantle of Luke [Kelly]”), Mark Radcliffe (“What a voice”) and Dónal Lunny (“Daoirí is one of the most important traditional singers to emerge in the last decade”).

His music and live performances have earned the acclaim of respected publications including MOJO, The Irish Post, Songlines and more.

“Daoirí is single handedly spearheading a resurgence of the authentic in Irish folk music… he is rightly in demand all over the world.”

ALBUMS

The debut album, ‘The First Turn’, surfaced back in 2009, with Daoirí’s breakthrough album, the powerful ‘True Born Irishman’, appearing in 2016, a set that Songlines called “an album that could yet prove to be one of the most significant Irish releases of recent years.” It went on to win him two prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

2019’s ‘A Lifetime Of Happiness’ earned three nominations in the RTE Radio 1 Folk Awards and FATEA’s “nothing less than a quintessential Irish folk album” approval.

Daoirí’s long-awaited fourth album, ‘The Wedding Above In Glencree’, released in late February 2023, made the RTÉ Radio 2 playlist in Ireland, reached number 11 on the Official UK Folk Albums Chart and gained him a nomination for Folk Singer of the Year in Ireland’s RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards.

“Not simply the best album so far from Farrell, ‘The Wedding Above In Glencree’ already sounds very much like a landmark album in Irish acoustic music.”
