ROCKTALK GIG GUIDE
Dundee Acoustic Music Club hosts Dallahan, one of the most thrilling forces in the Irish and international folk music scene, at Roseangle Café on Sunday afternoon.
Back for their second appearance at the club, Dallahan will push and pull you along on a musical journey, artistically transcending from tender and delicate songs from Transylvania to relentlessly punchy Irish dance tunes littered with funk grooves and everything in between.
Heavily rooted in traditional Irish music, but with hugely diverse backgrounds and influences, the band call on their mixed Irish, Scottish and Hungarian heritage to create a unique and seamless musical montage, drawing in influences from jazz, funk, pop and classical music.
Doors open at 1.30pm and the music starts at 2pm at Roseangle Café.
Tickets are available from Groucho’s and brownpapertickets.com
