Blair Dunlop

Produced by Jim Moray and featuring several special guests, Out of the Rain is a glorious, re-energised return from Blair Dunlop that should comfortably reinstate him among folk rock’s upper echelons.

Blair Dunlop announces his new album ‘Let’s Get Out of the Rain’ and a supporting 25-date UK Tour. Taken from the album, watch him performing the superb ‘Midday Mass’ – also our Song of the Day.

The “Indoor Festival of Folk” is a collaboration between folk/rock band The Magpie Arc and EFDSS and features a stellar lineup of award-winning UK folk artists performing at Cecil Sharp House on Saturday the 3rd of September 2022.

Sophisticated songs for a sometimes saccharin season, A Midwinter Miscellany (featuring Ashley Hutchings, Becky Mills, Blair Dunlop and Judy Dunlop) is a Christmas album with a big dollop of class.

Blair Dunlop has released the video for his new single ‘Sweet On You’ (also our Song of the Day), taken from his critically acclaimed 4th album ‘Notes From An Island’. It precedes his upcoming UK tour with Australian singer-songwriter Jack Carty.

A shift to more introspective material merely confirms not only his latent talent but also that, with Notes From An Island, his journey as one of our foremost singer-songwriters continues to be in the ascendancy. His most accomplished album so far.
