Album of the Week – Ciarán Ryan ‘Kick Up The Dust’
Written by celtic music radio on March 28, 2026

This is the third solo album from renowned banjo player, CIARÁN RYAN and, as the title suggests, it’s a full-on, thrilling musical jamboree.
Ciarán – founder member of world-folk band Dallahan – is rooted in Irish traditional music but he doesn’t stop there as bluegrass, funk and rock are fused boldly into the tracks he fires out.
As one critic observed, the music is “a brazen banjo driven bonanza of some brilliance.”
Ciarán will be speaking with Liz Clark – aka Auntie Liz – on the Album of the Week Show today at midday.
