SUMMARY:Daria Kulesh
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of glorious\, emotive and distinctive music-making with award-winning storytelling songstress Daria Kulesh. \nDaria’s four highly acclaimed albums to date have established her as one of the finest musicians on the folk scene. To see a Daria Kulesh gig is to experience something memorable and magical. Peter Shaw of Folk Radio UK described her live performance as “mesmerising… (with) breathtaking vocals. A true star”. \nDaria’s most recent album\, MotherLand\, won the 2025 Celtic Music Radio Album of the Year and saw Daria nominated for the FATEA Female Artist of the Year. Dai Jeffries wrote in a 5 Star review for RnR Magazine that “MotherLand finds Daria at the height of her vocal powers and is destined to be one of the albums of 2025”. \nThe gig will be in our atmospheric upstairs event space\, surrounded by the building’s old oak beams. Drinks will be available to purchase at an informal bar before the show and during the interval. \nThe bookshop door will open from 7pm\, and the show will start at 7.30pm. \n  \nAbout the Musician\nA concert in which Daria Kulesh appears is no ordinary gig… The audience were totally enthralled\, you may even say bewitched by the songs and stories — Tony Collins\, Hot Music Live (Read More) \nAn amazing album. It’s probably one of the best anti-war albums I’ve ever heard\, and beautifully produced — Hugh Taylor\, Celtic Music Radio\, on MotherLand \nDaria Kulesh 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”. \nHer debut release Eternal Child was described as “phenomenal”\, her second album Long Lost Home has enjoyed rave reviews and multiple awards\, including LCM Album of the Year\, her third offering Earthly Delights was named “one of the year’s finest albums” by Folk Radio UK\, and her latest studio release MotherLand is “near perfect” and “astonishing”\, according to Liverpool Sound and Vision. \nDaria has toured extensively in the UK and Europe\, sharing stories and songs that are deeply personal but feel universal and timeless. Every performance is an “emotional\, compelling and uplifting experience”\, leaving the audiences “completely spellbound”. \nBorn 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” (FATEA). \nSensational Russian songstress… A tour-de-force performance… Her voice is incredibly expressive and strikingly pure\, and her songs reach deep into the emotions — Colin Bailey\, Readifolk\, on Daria in concert \nDripping with mystical power and presence… stirring and hypnotic… Daria Kulesh uses her singular voice to present thoughtful\, reflective and sometimes impassioned music that draws on the past\, the troubled present and hopes for the future — Marc Higgins\, Time Past and Time Passing\, on MotherLand \n  \nFind Out More\nRead more about Daria on her website \nFollow Daria on Facebook or Instagram \nExplore Daria’s music on YouTube or Bandcamp \n  \nTickets\n£12 from the bookshop counter or online from the Pickering Festival: Rooted Ticket Source page \n \nDirect link to the event booking page here
