Pioneering world-folk group Dallahan are headed for St Margaret’s Braemar this Saturday — the latest concert as part of the Deeside arts venue’s Spring Programme.
The band — which draws inspiration from the music of Scotland, Ireland, the Balkans, Scandinavia and North America — consists of Jack Badcock on guitar and vocals, Ciaran Ryan on banjo, mandolin and fiddle, Andrew Waite on accordion and Benedict Morris on fiddle.
Formed in 2014, the band has established itself as one of the most internationally sought-after live acts to emerge from Glasgow’s vibrant folk scene.
Tickets are available from the St Margaret’s Braemar website.
They have toured in 23 countries, produced four studio albums and earned three nominations for Scottish Folk Band of the Year.
Dallahan have been described as “some of the most exciting trad musicians to emerge in recent years” by Mark Radcliffe, host of BBC Radio 2’s Folk Show.
Looking ahead to their performance at St Margaret’s this weekend, venue manager Lyndsey Boden said: “We’re already well underway with our 2024 programme at St Margaret’s — our most exciting and ambitious yet.
“And we’re very excited to welcome Dallahan to Braemar this weekend for what should be an absolutely outstanding show.
“They have a stellar reputation as a live act and have toured extensively right across the world.
“Saturday’s audience can look forward to intricate and high-energy arrangements, mixed between soulful songs, alongside world-class instrumentation — rooted in the traditions of Scotland and Ireland, but borrowing from global influences and always pushing the boundaries.”
