Doolin’ at The Ark

Doolin’ is a French band that blends Irish and Celtic traditions with fresh, adventurous sounds. Their newest album, CIRCUS BOY, partly recorded in the U.S. and finished in Paris, was produced by French music veterans Olivier Lude and Patrice Renson. The live show featured traditional instruments like bodhrán, whistles, and accordion, along with new additions such as piano, drums, and brass. Fronted by Wilfried Besse’s vocals, the band included standout fiddlers Niahm Gallagher, Niall Murphy, and Guilhem Cavaillé for a memorable mix of folk roots and modern Celtic vibes.
