Singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Dani Larkin takes centre stage for the November Irish Folk Nights at Kings Place. Her eagerly anticipated sophomore record, Next Of Kin, released 30 Jan 2026 via Wipe Out Music, has been heralded as a ‘transformational experience’ (Mojo), playlisted across RTÉ Radio One, Double J Radio and BBC Radio 6, and garnered more praise from Rolling Stone, Songlines, Hotpress and The Irish Times.

Dani Larkin’s debut album, Notes For A Maiden Warrior (2021), received widespread critical acclaim and catapulted Larkin to the international stage with performances at SXSW and WOMEX as well as tours with Snow Patrol, Lisa O’Neill, Glen Hansard, Ye Vagabonds and Rufus Wainright.

Larkin is currently based in Belfast, and has been heralded as ‘one of the finest songwriters of our times’ by Gary Lightbody. Winner of the PRS Creator of The Year Award (2025), Larkin pushes the boundaries of songwriting and what it means to be an ‘artist of the times’. She has deftly woven herself within the threads of the modern folk canon alongside Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver and Adrienne Lenker.
