Dallahan ‘Smallworld’ Album Launch Tour at Chapel Arts

Dallahan is one of the most distinct forces in the international folk
music scene. Forged in Scotland’s traditional music community, but
drawing on the traditional music styles of the Balkans and North
America, they create an original and seamless musical montage,
blending their contemporary influences from jazz, funk, and pop music.
Since forming five years ago, they have toured extensively in Europe,
North America and represented Britain at the bicentenary
British/Nepalese celebrations in Kathmandu, whilst enjoying varied
on-stage collaborations with The Royal Scottish National Orchestra,
Dougie Maclean, and Nepal’s traditional music exponents Kutumba.
Their first two albums were both nominated for Album of The Year at
the Scots Trad Music Awards in 2015 and 2016 respectively and they
were awarded Instrumental Track of the Year at the Live Ireland Awards
2016 (USA). 
Autumn 2018 sees the release of the bands third album, Smallworld;
with songs that explore themes ranging from unrequited love, famine,
racial inequality and big birds while instrumentals transcend from
traditional Irish tunes to Roma Gypsy melodies to genre-defying
originals. Dallahan, who have been described as “a world music
festival in one group” will be touring the UK in support of the
album’s November launch.
