Don Baker – My Story

This event has ended

Draíocht, Thursday 12th June

This is Don’s first solo tour where he will share tales of 55 years on the road, his life in the inner city, his love of the Blues and of the harmonica, plus stories of his working with Jim Sheridan, Daniel Day Lewis, Sinead O'Connor and more. Together with the story of his songs on harmonica and guitar, this is a tour not to be missed.

A young 75 with over 55 years on the road, Don Baker has had an amazing career. Harmonica player, singer-songwriter and actor, he has headlined with Tom Jones and Van Morrison, acted opposite Daniel Day Lewis in the Oscar Nominated “In the Name of the Father” and been declared by Bono of U2 as “The greatest harmonica player in the World!”. In 2022 Don released his first ever collection of harmonica instrumentals, recorded by him over the last 40 years, and TG4 broadcast Don’s life story through their award winning documentary series, Finné.

The legendary performances by this consummate entertainer have engaged, enchanted and charmed audiences for more than 55 years!
