Darach is a collaboration between Scottish fiddler Roo Geddes and Galician guitarist Hugo Franco, blending the traditional music of their homelands with contemporary folk influences. They set traditional melodies in resonant arrangements that draw inspiration from Classical music, Jazz, and Brazilian Choro.
In 2025, the duo released their debut album in Spain and France, performing on the main stages at major festivals including Festival Interceltique de Lorient, Ortigueira, and Encordass Fiddle Fest. Following their recognition with the Danny Kyle Award at Celtic Connections 2025, they will return to the festival in 2026 as part of their first UK tour.
This intercultural duo are fast emerging as a fresh new voice in the European traditional music scene and are looking ahead to concerts in Mexico, Costa Rica and Brazil before the end of the year.
