Concert of Dani Larkin at 8.30pm

Alt-folk musician Dani Larkin is a rising star on the Irish music scene. Her début album ‘Notes For A Maiden Warrior’ was nominated for ‘Best Album’ at last year’s Northern Ireland Music Prize and 'Best Emerging Artist' at the RTE Folk Awards. She has played support for musicians such as Rufus Wainwright, Wallis Bird, and Lisa O'Neill and performed at festivals throughout the island of Ireland. A storyteller by nature, Dani’s music is inspired by the folktales she was raised with along the Armagh-Monaghan border. They are beautifully intertwined with elements of traditional melodies and rhythms from around the world and delivered with her impressive vocal and instrumental prowess.
