David Duffy & his Band
David Duffy
A charismatic performer, multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter, David has felt most at home on stage ever since his first performance at the age of four with the family band.
Learning by ear, David first picked up the violin at 7 years old, winning All-Ireland Championships on fiddle and saxophone at 11yrs old. He received a scholarship to study classical violin with the Conservatoire of Music in Dublin, where he attained grade 8 with distinction in violin and led the conservatoire orchestra and quintet at 15. He went on to win ‘Entertainer of the Year’ and has featured in many news articles and appeared on TV and radio shows in Ireland, Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, and Jamaica.
In recent years, David has toured extensively in the US, Canada and Europe, appearing at venues such as The Royal Albert Hall in London and The Troubadour in LA, as well as at festivals including Bonnaroo and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in the United States and the ‘One Love’ Festival in Jamaica, where he and his band also headlined the opening ceremony of the Cricket World Cup to a global audience of 2.2 billion. Since 2006, David has also been a member of British rock band World Party and, in 2010, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, working with many talented artists and international stars and has arranged and performed film soundtracks.
