Their live DVD, One Night Stand, was filmed at Vicar St. Dublin. Winners of numerous awards from the BBC and Irish Music Magazine, Danú has toured throughout Europe and North America with stops at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Symphony Space in New York City. Danú takes its audiences on a musical journey to their native Ireland, offering a moving and memorable concert experience. Danú’s recordings are available on the Shanachie label and all the main digital stores. Their live performances are often broadcast on NPR, the CBC, RTE, TG4 and the BBC.
