A gig held at The Wardrobe Theatre on Tuesday 19th June. The event starts at 20:00pm.
Dallahan is one of the most thrilling forces in the international folk music scene; heavily rooted in traditional Irish music, but with hugely diverse backgrounds and influences. They call on their mixed Irish, Scottish and Hungarian heritage to create a unique and seamless musical montage, drawing in influences from jazz, funk, pop and classical music. Dallahan will push and pull you along on a musical journey, artistically transcending from tender and delicate songs from Transylvania, to relentlessly punchy Irish dance tunes littered with funk grooves and everything in between.
Following the release of their debut album 'When The Day Is On The Turn' in 2014, which was highly praised by audiences and critics alike, described by fRoots magazine as “the most exciting Irish music I've heard in a long time...Lunasa for the new generation” the band toured extensively in North America and Europe, establishing themselves internationally as one of the most enthralling live shows, captivating audiences at such prestigious international events as Milwaukee Irish Fest, Celtic Connections and countless others.
The following year, 2016 saw the Dallahan's continued ascent with the release of their second album, 'Matter Of Time', and a most intensely busy touring schedule, playing 103 gigs across 7 countries, including travelling to Kathmandu, Nepal to on behalf of the British Council to collaborate with Nepalese band Kutumba at the British/Nepalese bicentenary celebrations. In 2016 their second album was shortlisted for 'Album of the Year' at the Scots Trad Music Awards and they were awarded 'Instrumental Cut of The Year' at the LiveIreland Awards 2016.
"Some of the most exciting trad musicians to emerge in recent years" - Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
