Scottish and Irish traditional music band Dallahan, with guitarist and singer Jack Badcock, plays Stage 2 at The Stables.
Dallahan play The Stables on Thursday 29 October, with the set starting at 8:45pm on Stage 2. They're a four-piece built around traditional Scottish and Irish music, and they've spent more than a decade touring. The line-up is Jack Badcock on guitar and vocals, Ciaran Ryan on banjo, Andrew Waite on accordion, and Benedict Morris on fiddle.
They describe their sound as forged from the traditional music scenes of Scotland and Ireland, though they pull from further afield, with influences reaching from the Balkans to North America and beyond. It's a fair bit of ground to cover in one set, and that range comes through in the instruments they bring together: guitar, banjo, accordion and fiddle.
Their debut album, When The Day Is On The Turn, came out in 2014 and was hailed by fRoots as "the most exciting Irish music I've heard in a long time... Lunasa for the new generation". Since then they've played festivals across Europe and North America, taken their music to 25 countries and picked up five Folk Band of the Year nominations, in 2016, 2019, 2022, 2023 and 2025. Their latest album, Speak of the Devil, was released in June 2023.
