Describing what Dan Walsh does is no easy task, but at the heart of it is British, Irish and American folk music delivered with a healthy dose of funky grooves – all performed with his unique and dazzling take on clawhammer style banjo helping to challenge all preconceptions about the instrument. Add to all that, poignant songs, astonishing musical departures and lively humour and the result is a truly memorable live show which has wowed audiences across the world from intimate seated rooms to huge dancing crowds in festival fields. As well as his thriving solo career, he’s an in-demand session musician, recently recording with Ward Thomas and Darius Rucker and playing live with Imelda May and Seasick Steve. He’s also a key part of the acclaimed Urban Folk Quartet (“impossibly wonderful,” fRoots). He has toured the world, from Canada and the USA to Australia, New Zealand and across Europe, everywhere winning new fans for his rare mix of virtuosic musicianship, moving and amusing songwriting, and winning charm. Whatever you do, don’t be washing your hair on Monday night, this a gig not to be missed.
