SMALL CLUB: Daithi Rua

Daithi Rua is an Irish singer-songwriter who lives in Belgium and has been on stage for more than 30 years. About five years ago, he decided to take a step back and focus on audio and video production and his YouTube channel ‘Songs From The Rua Room’, which puts songwriters from all over the world in the spotlight. Daithi played hundreds of gigs all over the world. His songs were covered by leading artists within the genre such as Kieran Halpin, Eva De Roovere, The Tannahill Weavers, The Fureys, and Davey Arthur. Very occasionally he returns to a live stage. Like this time, especially for the KleineKlup. The performances of Daithi are known for their warm, welcoming atmosphere. With compelling stories and powerful, emotional lyrics, accompanied on guitar and bouzouki, he knows how to create a special connection with his audience time and again. An absolute must for fans of Luka Bloom, who wrote about Daithi himself: ‘To be a bogman is a blessing, to write songs is a gift. Daithi Rua is both blessed and gifted. Congratulations on 30 years of sharing your gift.’
