Two acclaimed singer-songwriters - seasoned British troubadour Dan Sealey and Ireland’s rising folk star Lorraine Nash - launch their collaborative Winter Sun UK Tour, offering audiences an evening of evocative songwriting, musical depth, and masterful storytelling.

Together, Sealey and Nash will deliver a show that blends Irish and English folk traditions to stages across the country.

He co-founded Merrymouth with Simon Fowler, featuring top musicians like John McCusker and Andy Cutting, and guest Chas Hodges. Dan also revived the renowned Music Hall act Cosmotheka with his father Dave, touring widely and headlining folk festivals across the UK. Dan released his debut album, ‘Beware of Darkness’ in spring 2025 and has just completed a successful first tour as a solo artist. He blends music from his past bands with humorous stories in his live shows.
Lorraine Nash, from Co. Kerry has been noted as ‘The Future of Irish Folk’ by Irish Independent.
