Dervish has been performing Irish traditional music for 30 years and has played at festivals – from Rock In Rio to Glastonbury. The band features some of Ireland’s finest traditional musicians and is fronted by one of the country’s best-known singers, Cathy Jordan. All six members of Dervish are steeped in the musical traditions of counties Sligo and Leitrim in northwest Ireland.
At the end of 2019, Dervish received a prestigious lifetime achievement award from the BBC, a fitting tribute to the band after over 30 years of recording and performing all over the world. They are described by the BBC as “an icon of Irish music”. The News Journal (Delaware) described Dervish as: “The most compelling, most soulful Irish traditional folk band playing today.”
