Déirin Dé in Doolin 2002
The last puff of smoke

The irish expression “Déirin Dé” means “the last puff of smoke”.

The expressive and incomparable singing of native Irish Ann Grealy forms the heart of the six-man Irish/German band Déirin Dé. The wide range of tunes performed by the temperful Dublin-born lead vocalist extends from soulful melancholic ballads to humorous and spirited songs, accompanied by the band’s virtuous instrumentalists.

The five musicians, lost to Irish music with body and soul, inspire with a mixture of grooving fantasy and skilfully arranged Irish dances such as jigs, reels, hornpipes and polkas. Beautiful waltzes and airs, moodfully laid back compositions and sometimes extraordinary interpretations of currently heard tunes round off the their program.

The love of traditional music combined with the joy of playing together leads to the unique, compact and authentic sound of Déirin Dé that inspires people, makes them dance and ultimately touches their hearts.
