Blair Dunlop is an award-winning British singer-songwriter and guitarist, who has released 5 albums, 2 EPs and toured around the globe.
Blair burst onto the scene with his debut album ?Blight & Blossom? in 2012, showcasing virtuosic musicianship and lyrical maturity, and was awarded the prestigious BBC Horizon Folk Award in the wake of its release. A string of critically acclaimed albums followed, along with headline tours and festival appearances in the UK, Europe, North America and Australia.
His third album Gilded was widely acclaimed, gaining BBC Radio 2 Playlist status for the two single releases (?The Egoist? and ?356?).
With the release of Out of the Rain in 2024 Blair has now cemented his place as one of Britain?s most exciting talents: ‘With songwriting and musicianship of the highest calibre, the expansive, wide-screen sound underlines Blair?s growing stature as one of the country?s most impressive contemporary musical artists, regardless of genre-labelling.’ - Americana UK Live
For a man still in his 20’s, whose debut album, Blight & Blossom, won the coveted Horizon Award at the 2013 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, whose 2010 debut EP is now a collector’s item and who was declared the “vital bridge between Brit folk’s first and latest flowerings” by Q magazine one might think it easy to rest on the laurels of an already successful career…but no!
Having not been able to tour extensively over the last couple of years due to the impact of Covid-19, Blair will tour extensively throughout March and April 2022 in the format that his fans love him best: one Man – one guitar! Intimate selected venues have been chosen to allow the simplicity and sincerity of Blair’s songs and performances connect with his audience in the way Blair does best.
