Dani Larkin, a singer-songwriter and folk musician from the Armagh-Monaghan border, is being heralded as Ireland’s most promising folk artist. Her songs, inspired by the folk tales upon which she was raised, blend elements of melodies and rhythms from around the world in a seamless and timeless tradition.
Family, place and belonging are hugely important in Larkin’s writing and can be heard woven throughout. Weekly Sunday evening musical gatherings were commonplace in her upbringing and created a strong base that hugely influences where she stands today.
