Robin James Hurt

Northern Ireland

Few artists embody the fire and heart of Irish and Scottish folk music like ROBIN JAMES HURT.

Born in Belfast, raised in Scotland, and now calling Wexford home, his journey as a guitarist, singer, and songwriter has been nothing short of remarkable. A celebrated artist with a global fanbase, Robin’s career has seen him share stages with legends such as Ronnie Drew, Sinéad O’Connor, Finbar Furey, Camille
O’Sullivan, and Linda Coogan Byrne, carving out a reputation for his raw energy, breathtaking musicality, and unparalleled storytelling.

From the biggest international festivals to fireside sessions, with soulful, authentic
vocals accompanied by a rare guitar playing talent and a lively, passionate presence, Robin is a hugely popular live performer. His shows reach a whole new level with his exceptional band, featuring the
celebrated Irish fiddle supremo Courtney Cullen, virtuoso trad concertina player Clare Faherty, and the cajon maestro from Ohio via Madrid, Snr Robbie K Jones. With the launch of his celebrated new album A Song, A Story Told and its anthemic earworm singles Take Me Home and Hey Mary (Play A Song For Me),
2025 was an exceptional year for Robin James Hurt.

The new year follows suit, starting with a groundbreaking high as The Robin
James Hurt Band travel to Robin's birthplace, Belfast, to perform at the essential
go-to folk and roots music conference for those who know, YOUR ROOTS ARE SHOWING.

With a Norwegian tour in March and concerts across the country, the road will be
alive this year as Robin, and the band, bring an unforgettable performance to every stage!
