DÀIMH U.S. & CANADA TOUR
We’re very excited to be heading back across the pond to the U.S. this week. We’ll also be making our first trip to Ontario, Canada. Check out the poster below and also the gig section of our website for details. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and making new friends!
‘PIRATES OF THE HEBRIDEAN’ TOUR AND VIDEO
It’s been a very busy first few months of the year for us Dàimh’ers. We had a great night at Celtic Connections (check out this Scotsman Review) celebrating 15 years since our first album Moidart to Mabou with a concert featuring seven Gaelic singers that have sung, toured and recorded with us over the years. It really was a special night and we were delighted to share it with a sold out Glasgow Royal Concert Hall audience.
2015 Scots Trad Music Award winners! Loads in store for 2016!
2015 was an amazing year for Dàimh. We started the year by picking up the award for Best Folk Band in Europe at the Folkherbst competition in Plauen, Germany, and finished the year by being named Folk Band of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards in Dundee!
NEW ALBUM, US TOUR, TRAD AWARD NOMINATION AND CELTIC CONNECTIONS!
With this recording we wanted to gather together tunes that we have been playing since the early days of the band. The material here never made it onto previous albums because we couldn’t find a place for it, didn’t believe we were doing it justice or simply felt that the tunes were too commonly-played and overlooked them in favour of less well-known material.
American Tour 2015
After a very busy summer with various projects, we’re really excited to be heading the U.S. this week for the first time. We’ll have special guest, Hannah Read on vocals and fiddle for the first leg of the tour. Check out the poster below and come say hello if we’re in your area!
