To celebrate turning 30 this year, Dervish released their new album The Great Irish Songbook (Rounder).

The Great Irish Songbook Special Concert with DERVISH featuring Special Guests Imelda May, David Gray, Kate Rusby and actor Brendan Gleeson will take place at The London Palladium on Thursday, 19thSeptember 2019.
