Biography

In just over a decade, Doolin’ has established itself as one of the most innovative Irish music groups in the world. Doolin’ sublimates the typical Irish spirit with an infectious energy and the angelic voice of their singer Wilfried Besse. Steeped in contemporary sensibilities, rock, folk, jazz, funk, these virtuosos break the boundaries of the genre and irradiate the most prestigious festivals, halls and theaters around the world. Josselin Fournel is the Irish vice-champion of bodhran.

For the recording of its 4th album, Doolin’ travelled to Nashville (Tennessee) with the great John Doyle (Solas) and with many guests such as Jerry Douglas (dobro player, 14 Grammy Awards), Kenny Malone (percussionist of Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, J. J. Cale…) or Michael McGoldrick (Mark Knopfler…), the famous banjoists Alison Brown (4 Grammy Awards) and Mary Shannon or the American rapper Taron Benson (Anakronic).

Since the beginning of his career, Doolin’ has played more than 500 concerts on prestigious stages in France and abroad.

DOOLIN’ and their early Irish folk music has blended with Afro-American culture, soul, jazz, rap and their European roots, chanson and pop music; DOOLIN’ is back with a new show directed by director Yann Orhan and their highly anticipated new album “CIRCUS BOY”.
