Since we last heard from Dani Larkin, she has certainly established herself as a force worth reckoning with, and one that has expanded exponentially since the release of her debut album. Following collaborations with the Ulster Orchestra and RTE Concert Orchestra, as well as international tours taking in North America, Australia, Korea and Finland, Dani Larkin is back home for a headline tour of Ireland February 2025.
‘The Full Circle Tour is a culmination of many years’ work in an intimate songwriter setting. I have been working steadily on new songs and compositions and this tour will be the first sharing of those. Playing live shows is not mere bread and butter for me but a chance to connect with people, have conversations and be inspired by the island that I call home.’
Pipped by RTÉ Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, Double J (Australia) and Folk Radio UK as an established voice on the Irish folk and alternative scene, Larkin has performed at SXSW, Folk Alliance, Reeperbahn, and WOMEX. In addition to sold out shows in London and New York, Larkin has garnered headline slots at Cambridge Folk Festival and Moseley Folk Fest, and has also toured extensively with Snow Patrol, Lisa Hannigan, Declan O’Rourke, Ye Vagabonds and Wallis Bird.
Dani Larkin is a songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist currently based in Belfast. Her debut album, Notes For A Maiden Warrior (2021), received widespread critical acclaim and catapulted Larkin to the international stage with performances at SXSW and WOMEX as well as tours with Snow Patrol, Lisa O'Neill, Glen Hansard, and Rufus Wainright.
Larkin has since collaborated with the Ulster Orchestra and RTÉ Concert Orchestra and released Walking With Natives (2023) which saw her tour Australia, Korea, Finland, Canada, Ireland, the UK and a run of sold out shows at the Irish Arts Centre NYC.
With television appearances on BBC 1, Virgin Media Ireland's Fanning At Whelans, Canada's CTV, alongside radio performances on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour and RTÉ Radio 1, Larkin has accompanied her songwriting prowess with insights into story and song taking the listener on a pathway to the beyond.
With a profound performance at the RTÉ Folk Awards coupled with her tours in Europe, Australia, Asia and North America, Larkin has been heralded as a ‘must-see’ live performer on the national and international stage. Described as a ‘beguiling’ and ‘powerful’, songwriter and ‘virtuoso guitarist’ (Songlines Magazine) Larkin’s live performances enrapture audiences within a seamlessly woven narrative within carefully considered sonic landscape.
