Award winning Blair Dunlop heads out on Tour

Feb 19, 2022

Blair Dunlop, award-winning British singer-songwriter and guitarist, has release 4 albums to date,  2 EP’s and toured around the globe.  All of this in a very short (so far) musical career.

For a man still in his 20’s, whose debut album won the coveted Horizon Award at the 2013 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and whose 2010 debut EP is now a collector’s item (check your CD shelf) .. you would think he might want to slow down and rest on the laurels of an already successful career, but it seems not.  Like so many of the artistic creatives, who have chosen to work in the performing arts sector, he has been unable to tour due to the impact of Covid-19

Two years later, the time has arrived for him to venture back out on the road, to tour throughout March and April 2022.

He has chosen an Intimate selection of venues for this extensive run of live events,  which will allow the simplicity and sincerity of his songs to connect with his audience in the way Blair does best: one Man – one guitar! 

 “Dunlop brings an air of tenacity while displaying a fine repertoire of well-crafted songs spanning traditional and contemporary.  He’s determinedly taking the traditions of folk in his own direction”   THE INDEPENDENT
