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 Farrell has gone from strength to strength. He boasts numerous honours from BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards to ALSR Celtic Music accolades, including a 2024 nomination for best folk singer.

​

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"), with his music and live performances earning the acclaim of respected publications including MOJO, The Irish Post, Songlines and more.
