event details

One of Ireland’s best-loved singer-songwriters, Luka Bloom retains an innocence and optimism in his work that translate neither as naïveté nor wishful thinking: rather an eloquent belief in human communion – musical or otherwise – as a force for good. This has largely been the inspiration behind his latest acclaimed album Tribe.

His incredibly gifted electro-acoustic guitar-playing guarantees an impassioned live performance of his original, poetic and melodic songs, having honed his craft whilst on tour with various acts including his older brother, Christy Moore, The Pogues, The Violent Femmes and The Dixie Chicks.

Cara Dillon, too, has a voice that transcends boundaries, its uncannily pure, exquisitely expressive tones first heard in the band Oige when she was just fifteen. Now pursuing a successful solo career, she aligns her love of traditional ballads with subtle pop and country influences, most recently on her 2006 album After the Morning.
