Lauded as a “vital bridge between Brit folk’s first and latest flowerings” (Q Magazine) Blair Dunlop is an acclaimed musician consistently pushing his sound in new directions.
His debut album ‘Blight & Blossom’ won the Horizon Award at the 2013 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and he’s gone from strength to strength since then.
Dunlop’s latest album ‘Notes From An Island’ showcases his intimate, spellbinding songwriting and confirms that his “journey as one of our foremost singer-songwriters continues to be in the ascendancy” (Folk Radio).
He also recently released a live record of his Australian tour, capturing the raw intimacy of his performances.
