Dani Larkin

About this event

---

Beguiling, intense, driven folk songs expertly accompanied by guitar and banjo, singer-songwriter Dani Larkin moves through ruminations on love and experiences of wildness, loss and mystery, steered with an engagingly calm conviction. Larkin’s debut album, Notes For A Maiden Warrior, was nominated for ‘Best Single’, ‘Best Album’ at the Northern Ireland Music Prize, and Best Emerging Artist at RTE Folk Awards. She has toured with Declan O’Rourke, Ye Vagabonds and Wallis Bird as well as showcases at Folk Alliance, SXSW, Reeperbahn, English Folk Expo, WOMEX, and a profound performance at the RTÉ Folk Awards. In addition to appearances with Rufus Wainright, Glen Hansard, Lisa O’Neill and Snow Patrol, it is clear that Larkin has firmly established herself as a must-see artist on the national and international stage. Larkin followed up her critically acclaimed debut album with Walking With Natives, during which she toured North America, Australia, Europe and Asia. In addition to collaborations with the Ulster Orchestra and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, Walking With Natives is a pathway to the beyond. With television appearances on Fanning At Whelans, musical sessions on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour and the prestigious PRS Momentum Award, Larkin is truly ‘One of the finest songwriters of our time’. “Hotly tipped singer-songwriter” Mark Radcliff BBC Radio 2 “Electrifying singer-songwriter and folk award nominee” The Irish Times
