Fiddlers Green Festival is proud to welcome one of Ireland’s leading traditional singers, Daoirí Farrell, to Rostrevor for a very special performance in An Cuan.

A product of Dublin’s renowned An Góilín Traditional Singers Club, Daoirí has become one of the most important voices in contemporary Irish folk music. Since launching his solo career at Celtic Connections in 2016, he has earned widespread acclaim for his powerful singing, masterful bouzouki playing, and deeply authentic interpretation of Irish traditional song.

An All-Ireland Champion Singer, Daoirí has received numerous nominations from both the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards, alongside recognition from audiences and critics throughout the folk music world. His music has drawn praise from legendary figures including Christy Moore, who remarked that “Daoirí has assumed the mantle of Luke Kelly,” while broadcaster Mark Radcliffe simply described him as “What a voice.”

Combining traditional ballads, political songs, humour, storytelling, and contemporary relevance, Daoirí Farrell’s live performances are celebrated for their honesty, warmth, and emotional depth. Whether performing unaccompanied or with bouzouki in hand, he brings a commanding presence and a profound respect for Ireland’s rich singing tradition.

Audiences at Fiddlers Green Festival can expect an unforgettable afternoon from one of the finest traditional singers of his generation.
