Their debut album When The Day Is On The Turn in 2014, was highly praised by audiences and critics alike, described by fRoots magazine as “the most exciting Irish music I’ve heard in a long time…Lunasa for the new generation”, establishing themselves internationally as one of the most enthralling live shows, captivating audiences at such prestigious international events.
The following year, 2016 saw the Dallahan’s continued ascent with the release of their second album, Matter Of Time, and an intensely busy touring schedule, playing 103 gigs across seven countries.
