Description

For three decades, Danú has been at the heart of Irish traditional music, captivating audiences with their virtuosity, creativity, and deep connection to Ireland’s cultural heritage. Formed in 1995 in County Waterford, the band’s journey began with an impromptu session after a céilí in Dungarvan. This fateful gathering led to an invitation to represent Ireland at the Inter Celtique Festival in Lorient, Brittany, where they won the prestigious Boules Des Korrigans award for best up-and-coming band in 1996.

Taking their name from the ancient Celtic goddess Danú, the group has grown into one of the most celebrated ensembles in Irish music. Over the years, they have toured extensively across Europe, the Middle East, and North America, gracing stages at iconic venues such as The Hollywood Bowl, Symphony Space, and major festivals across the UK, Denmark, France, and beyond. Danú’s recordings, many available on the Shanachie label, have earned critical acclaim, while their live performances are broadcast on NPR, CBC, and the BBC, bringing their vibrant sound to listeners worldwide.

Danú’s ability to evolve while staying true to their roots has been key to their success. Founding member Benny McCarthy reflects, “Our strength lies in embracing fresh talent, allowing us to grow and refine our sound.” This philosophy is evident in their current lineup, featuring Benny McCarthy (button accordion), Nell Ní Chróinín (vocals, tin whistle), Oisín McAuley (fiddle, backing vocals), Éamon Doorley (bouzouki), Tony Byrne (guitar), Ivan Goff (pipes, flute, whistle), and Billy Sutton (bodhrán, mandolin, backing vocals).

To celebrate their 30th anniversary, Danú is releasing The Pearl Album (Live in Celebration), a stunning collection of 30 tracks recorded live in over 25 iconic venues. The album showcases the band’s mastery of traditional Irish music, blending intricate instrumental arrangements with Nell Ní Chróinín’s exceptional vocals. Benny McCarthy explains, “This album captures the raw, unedited essence of our live performances, a craft we’ve honed over three decades.”

Danú continues to inspire audiences, offering an authentic and powerful musical journey that honors Ireland’s rich traditions while embracing new possibilities
