Daria Kulesh: A decade on from the release of her debut album, Eternal Child (2015), Daria Kulesh has released her new studio album MotherLand (2025), marking 10 years of her solo career. Tonight she is joined by two spectacular musicians, Marina Osman (piano) from Belarus, who won the 2019 Folking award for “best musician”, and the outstanding violinist Katrina Davies. Their recent performance at the Wimborne Minster Folk Festival 2026 ‘held the audience spellbound’. 

Daria has been described by Mike Harding as “one of the finest voices and one of the most intriguing and interesting songwriters on the present folk scene.”  Her third album, Earthly Delights, was named "one of the year's finest albums" by Folk Radio UK, and, according to FATEA magazine, her latest studio release, Eve, is “a terrific collection from the heart” that evidences her “singular talent.”

Daria has toured extensively in the UK and Europe, sharing stories and songs that are deeply personal but feel universal and timeless. Born in Russia but based in the UK for the last 15 years, she fearlessly explores her heritage and turbulent family history in Ingushetia (North Caucasus) with songs that "aren't just sung, but lived."  Daria's songs are a mix of fairytale and bleak history of a troubled land, but the passion and resilience of people always shines through" – FATEA Magazine.

"Intensely personal and immensely resonant... incredibly moving" TwickFolk
