Luke Daniels

Ace melodeon player (and multi-instrumentalist) Luke Daniels has a list of high-profile credits to his name, working with Riverdance, Jethro Tull, De Dannan, and Cara Dillon, but has also made twelve solo albums. From an album of melodeon music transcribed from early wax cylinders and 78s to electronic music to performing at the Royal Festival Hall with the London Philharmonic Orchestra to writing many songs, expect a set drawing from an incredibly varied body of work.

Transforming the Traditional

Luke's work is grounded in a deep connection with traditional Irish music, having been brought to the tradition at a young age by Paddy Coyne, six times Connacht Champion. Yet, his creative drive has always leaned toward boundary-pushing interpretations and original compositions.

Since launching his solo career, he has released eight critically acclaimed albums featuring his own songs and instrumental works; recordings that showcase not only his melodic sensibility but also his unique voice as a composer.

His musical palette extends far beyond folk, drawing from jazz, classical, and global influences to create a sound that is unique.
