Jamie Duffy + Bells Larsen

At just 24, Jamie Duffy has emerged as one of Ireland’s most compelling new artists, blending folk, classical, and contemporary influences into a sound that’s both intimate and cinematic. His debut single Solas became the most streamed debut by an Irish artist since Hozier’s Take Me To Church, with over 125 million streams on Spotify, 25 million YouTube views, and 6.6 billion views on TikTok.

In 2024, the folk-classical composer released his debut EP On A Wing, sold out his first Irish headline tour (2,600+ tickets), and supported Andrea Bocelli and Hans Zimmer at BST Hyde Park. Now, with over 1.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, he’s gearing up for his biggest chapter yet.

His debut self-titled album, out 10 October 2025, was recorded across Ireland and Iceland with BAFTA winner Atli Örvarsson. Forged between wild coastlines and still nights, the album reflects Jamie’s rural Monaghan roots, shaped by changing environments, Irish folklore, love, light, and trepidation.

Special guest is Bells Larsen. How can we forge new forms of coming home to ourselves? On his sophomore album Blurring Time (2025), Bells Larsen collapses time into a series of patient ceremonies. Guided by the satisfaction of simply ‘being’ as a political act, the record explores the ways we write the ever-arriving self into existence. Oscillating between lo-fi 90s indie and searing folk ballads, Larsen’s project features the haunting accompaniment of voices frozen in time.
