Bio
Dallahan are an internationally touring world‑folk ensemble originally formed in Scotland and Ireland whose music has become beloved in Australia’s folk and world music circuits through festival appearances like the *Woodford Folk Festival*, *Blue Mountains Music Festival*, and *Port Fairy Folk Festival*. Forged out of the traditional music scenes of Scotland and Ireland, yet influenced by folk traditions from the Balkans, North America, and beyond, Dallahan blends Celtic roots with global sounds to create a vibrant, exploratory style of *world‑folk music*. The group features skilled multi‑instrumentalists — including guitarist and vocalist Jack Badcock, banjo player Ciaran Ryan, accordionist Andrew Waite, and fiddler Benedict Morris — whose performances are marked by both virtuosity and charismatic stage energy. Since releasing their debut album *When The Day Is On The Turn* in 2014, they’ve toured widely across Europe, North America, and Australia, earned multiple nominations for *Folk Band of the Year*, won the Emerging Excellence Award, and expanded their sound with several acclaimed albums including *Smallworld* and *Speak of the Devil* (2023). Their music celebrates traditional Celtic melodies while fearlessly incorporating influences from world music, earning them a dedicated international following and a reputation as one of the most creative ensembles on the global folk stage.
