Born in Whitehall, Dublin, Baker fell in love with the harmonica at an early age, and has since toured the world honing his craft.

Earning praise from famed harmonica maestros Mark Feltham and Charlie McCoy – as well as Bono – Baker is also recognised for his role in In The Name Of The Father. More recently, he appeared on the small screen as part of RTÉ's Failte Towers.

Last year saw the release of his Don Baker In Profile DVD, which he made available for free download from his site.

The Don Baker Band are at The Academy on April 4. Tickets are on sale now for €20.
