Since we last heard from Monaghan based singer songwriter Dani Larkin, she has certainly established herself as a force worth reckoning with, and one that has expanded exponentially since the release of her debut album. Following collaborations with the Ulster Orchestra and RTE Concert Orchestra , as well as international tours taking in North America, Australia, Korea and Finland

Pipped by RTÉ Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, Double J (Australia) and Folk Radio UK as an established voice on the Irish folk and alternative scene, Larkin has performed at SXSW, Folk Alliance, Reeperbahn, and WOMEX. In addition to sold out shows in London and New York , Larkin has toured extensively with Snow Patrol, Lisa Hannigan, Declan O’Rourke , Ye Vagabonds, Glen Hansard and Wallis Bird.

*** ‘One of our greatest songwriters’ Gary Lightbody

Ahead of the release of his new album David Keenan is taking to the road this Autumn to play hidden gems & hallowed rooms.

Featuring stops in every province in Ireland, the tour is all about the stories, the people and the joy of playing live in some special places.

David says “I’m chasing myth around Ireland, seeking out local stories and folklore as I go.

They say the Irish pub is dying and that magic doesn’t exist in venues anymore? I’m setting out to prove this wrong in October. It’s not about the size of the room or the fee, it’s about the people, the place and the music”

A thought-provoking multi-instrumentalist songwriter, Áine defies labels and blends genres. Her music cradles the spirit of her native homeland, embodying a solid, elated rhythm that a thousand years of ancestry has slammed to the floorboard in celebration and protest. Her music fuses traditional Irish roots into a fierce and wild sonic, leaving you charged in potent fragile humanity.

With recent solo performances at Glastonbury 2025 and the Royal Albert Hall the path of Meath songwriter Oisin Leech is something to behold. His debut album ‘Cold Sea’ received worldwide acclaim and has seen over 4 million streams since its release last year.

It was awarded Albums Of The Year by The Irish Times, Mojo, Uncut,  and was awarded ‘Album Of The Year’ by BBC 6 Music – as chosen by Cerys Matthews.

This event is a collaboration with Turning Pirate.
