Singer and bouzouki player Daoirí (pronounced ‘Derry’) Farrell is described by some of the biggest names in Irish folk music as one of the most important singers to come out of Ireland in recent years. Six months after releasing the album True Born Irishman Daoirí won two prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2017 for Best Newcomer and Best Traditional Track, and performed live at the awards ceremony at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Since then he has toured Ireland, the UK, Australia and Germany, and played at festivals in the same plus Canada, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and more. He has also toured with the all-star Transatlantic Sessions to major venues across the UK and joined Lúnasa as guest vocalist for U.S. touring.

Don’t be fooled by POPtical Illusion, the playful title of John Cale’s second album in just over a year. He remains angry, still incensed by the wilful destruction that unchecked capitalists and unrepentant conmen have hoisted upon the wonders of this world and the goodness of its people. The all-absorbing POPtical Illusion reinforces the feeling of MERCY, Cale’s much-lauded 2023 album that was as inquisitive as it was fierce.
Across a career of more than six decades, Cale’s vanguard-shaping enthusiasms have shifted among ecstatic classicism and unbound rock, classic songcraft and electronic reimagination with proud restlessness. Now, he burrows into mazes of synthesizers and samples, organs and pianos with words that constitute a sort of swirling hope, a sage insistence that change is yet possible. POPtical Illusion synthesizes contrasting emotions and enthusiasms into a dozen electronic playgrounds, Cale’s magisterial voice webbing across it all with puns and insights, grievances and quips, life and some version of truth.
John Cale has always been a musician of the times, helping to usher in titanic shifts in sound and culture. Once again, on POPtical Illusion, he looks at the orchestrated turmoil of recent history, furrows his brow in disgust, and then turns on his heels toward a future, even if he — like all of the rest of us, really — doesn’t know just what he’ll find or who exactly he’ll be there.
Guitarist and composer Juan Martín plays and introduces his compositions within the forms of the great tradition of flamenco. His exquisite style is enhanced through minimal amplification to capture his very pure flamenco sound.
He has recorded 20 albums, which followed his performance in the Spanish film, Donde tu estés at 17, and has since made three films with his dance company. His success and skill led to him performing at Picasso’s 90th birthday celebrations, which in turn resulted in his groundbreaking album Picasso Portraits.
Voted into the top 3 flamenco guitarists in the world by Guitar Player USA, Juan Martín has toured the world playing concerts from Shanghai and Melbourne to New York as well as in the Montreux Jazz Festival, which included a performance alongside Miles Davis. Critics have compared his compositional talent to that of great Spanish composers Albéniz, Turina and Tárrega, and his books for learning the guitar are now translated into many languages, with his original book being referred to as ‘The Bible’ of flamenco guitar.
