Luke Daniels Trio

The Luke Daniels Trio is a bold force on today’s folk scene — a boundary-pushing
collective led by visionary multi-instrumentalist, Luke Daniels. A former BBC Radio 2
Young Trad Award winner and global touring artist with Riverdance, Cara Dillon, De
Dannan and Jethro Tull.  Luke is reimagining what folk music can be — from
his debut composition The Lost Music of the Gaels to prestigious festival
performances including Glastonbury and the Philadelphia Folk Festival.

With a blend of deep basslines, nimble riffs, the trio will get you dancing, delivering a
sound that is both fiercely contemporary and rooted in trad inspired by the Boston
dancehalls of the 1920s. The trio features Matt Tighe, a BBC Radio Scotland Young
Trad finalist whose fiery fiddle playing blends Irish soul with world-class virtuosity;
and Luc McNally, a rhythmic powerhouse and sensitive guitarist also a BBC Radio
Scotland Young Trad finalist.  The Luke Daniels Trio fuses English, Irish, and
Scottish traditional tunes with global influences to create something vibrant, vital, and
utterly unique.
