Jack Badcock

Singer and guitarist, Jack Badcock is a veteran performer, having toured extensively both as a solo artist and as frontman and founding member of renowned world-folk band Dallahan. A previous finalist in the BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year Award, his 2021 EP, The Driftwood Project was nominated for Original Work of the Year at the BBC Scots Music Awards and in 2022 he was selected by Celtic Connections to write and perform an hour of original music with a full band for the prestigious New Voices commission at Glasgow?s Royal Concert Hall. With a decade of touring under his belt, Jack?s stagecraft is relaxed and inviting, confidently engaging with his audiences on stages of any size. His solo material reveals his astute songcraft, all delivered with a musical sensitivity clearly influenced by American folk, funk and soul music as much as the traditional music from Britain and Ireland.
