Nobles Presents - Jack Badcock and Andrew Waite

Information

Singer and guitarist Jack Badcock is a veteran performer, having toured extensively on four continents, both as a solo act and as frontman of renowned world-folk band Dallahan. His debut album Cosmography (2024) was nominated in the German Music Critics Choice Awards and also earned him a nomination for Composer of the Year in the Scots Trad Music Awards. Jack’s solo material reveals his astute songcraft exploring human history, cosmology, personal experiences and profound questions all delivered with a musical sensitivity clearly influenced by American folk, funk and soul music as much as the traditional music from Britain and Ireland.

In 2011 Andrew was a finalist in the BBC Young Traditional Musician Of The Year and was an Up And Coming Act Of The Year nominee at Na Trads 2015. In 2015 he joined the band Dallahan who were Folk Band Of The Year nominees at Na Trads 2016 and released the album ‘Matter Of Time’ which was also nominated for Album Of The Year at Na Trads 2016.
