Daoirí Farrell plays Strule Arts Centre in Omagh on Wednesday 28 October 2026 at 8pm in a cabaret-style setting rather than the usual rows of theatre seating. The Dublin traditional singer has been a fixture on the international folk circuit since his solo debut at Celtic Connections in 2016, with multiple nominations from the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and the RTÉ Folk Awards behind him and coverage in MOJO and Songlines.
His 2023 album The Wedding Above In Glencree reached number 11 on the UK Folk Albums Chart, and he has taken his songs to the National Folk Festival in Australia and toured the United States with Lúnasa. Folk Radio UK called his “the best Irish traditional voice currently around”, a line the venue quotes in its billing. Strule gives the running time as 1 hour 50 minutes, with unallocated seating, so arriving in good time is the way to get the table you want.
Strule Arts Centre is on Townhall Square in Omagh town centre, on the bank of the Strule. Omagh sits at the meeting of the A5 Derry to Aughnacloy road and the A32 from Enniskillen, roughly 70 miles from Belfast, 34 from Derry and 27 from Enniskillen. Council car parks on Kevlin Road and Church Street are both within a few minutes’ walk, and evening parking is easy enough midweek. Omagh bus centre on Mountjoy Road is a short walk from the venue and is served by Ulsterbus and Translink Goldline services, though the late return options on a Wednesday are limited.
