A group of musicians who met at the session in one of the pubs in Katowice in early 2004. They didn't plan for a new band, but playing together felt so good that it resulted in the birth of DUAN a couple of months later.

DUAN is a Polish band renowned for its expertise in Irish Traditional Music. Since its debut in March 2005 it has been performing extensively both in traditional pub settings, as well as at big European festivals, such as Przystanek Woodstock, Beltine, Bie Daip, Zamek Celtic Music Festival and FKC Dowspuda, playing numerous concerts for the Irish Culture Foundation, as well as with solo artists, such as Bob Bales.

The band has in its line-up musicians with over 20 years of experience in Irish Traditional Music, who master their style at workshops and numerous session appearances in Ireland and perform for international audiences in Poland, Germany, Holland, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and the Czech Republic.

DUAN continuously gains considerable recognition for its attention to the nuances of the traditional styles of the Clare, Sligo and Belfast areas, incorporating them into original compositions (such as ‘Skellige‘ for the promotion of ‘The Witcher’ computer game), maritime folk repertoire and fusion projects, such as Celtic-Balkan Power Project done with Carrantuohill and Fanfare Ciocarlia in 2012.

The band performs regularly with the leading Irish dancers from Poland - both soloists and groups, such as Treblers - Mainland-European Irish Dance Championship winners.
