About Julia Pertuy and Dara Dubh In Concert
Julia Pertuy and Dara Dubh are two outstanding singer-songwriters brought together by the Institut Français d’Ecosse for a one-night musical voyage, combining traditional instruments with songwriting rooted in today’s times.
Julia Pertuy is a French singer-songwriter whose music lies at the crossroads of organic acoustics and electronic textures. Inspired by Lhasa de Sela, Sigur Rós, Daniela Pes, and Léonie Pernet, she tackles intimate and political themes in the lyrics of her upcoming EP with disarming sincerity, offering a sensitive reflection of our times. Accompanied by her cello, she explores anger, vulnerability, and the freedom to be oneself. On stage, Julia Pertuy exudes a magnetic energy, she inhabits her songs with rare authenticity, creating a powerful connection with the audience, where strength and fragility intertwine.
Dara Dubh is an Irish indie–folk–rock artist whose songs sit somewhere between heartfelt confession and a good kick up the road. A singer-songwriter and harpist with a habit of blending the delicate with the downright fierce, she brings a sharp emotional edge to a sound shaped by folk roots, alternative influences, and whatever else has been rattling around her head that week. With the harp as her trusted companion, Dubh challenges the idea of an instrument often associated with traditional music. The harp has found new life in Dara’s hands as she pushes the boundaries of its capabilities, and a voice that can shift from whisper-soft to unapologetically powerful without warning.
Dara Dubh is a SAMA Best Newcomer nominee, JBL & Martin Garrix Music Academy top 10 UK artists and one of The List’s Hot 100 (No. 57).
