Long-Awaited New Album from Daoiri Farrell
'A Lifetime of Happiness' is the title of the much anticipated new album from Dublin singer and bouzouki-player Daoiri Farrell which was launched at An Góilín Singers Club on Feb 15th.
Since winning 'Best Newcomer' and 'Best Original Track' at the prestigious BBC 2 Folk Awards in 2017, Daoiri's profile and career trajectory have taken him to stages from the Royal Albert Hall to festivals in the US, Canada and Australia, including a tour with the all-star 'Transatlantic Sessions' in major venues throughout the UK. He headlined at the Celtic Connections Festival on January 26th
