The Emma Langford Trio – Friday 20^th August at 8pm.

• Sweet and sardonic in equal measures, Emma Langford is a songwriters’ songwriter. Creating work that fuses trad, folk, and jazz; her writing and performance are a celebration of this nation’s tradition of storytelling.
• Never one to shy from hard work, Langford made the bold but rewarding move of releasing an album at the height of a pandemic – ‘Sowing Acorns’ landed in September 2020 and received huge international praise. Having bided her time long enough now, she can’t wait to share the album live on stage in 2021 before her beloved audience – heckling and singing along are welcomed, nay encouraged.

Paddy Casey – Friday 27^th August at 8pm

• Celebrating the success of his fifth album, The Secret Life Of, Paddy Casey has come a long way from a childhood love of music that would bring him to tears…Having gotten his first guitar at the age of 12, it was clear long before that fateful day that young Dubliner Paddy Casey had soul.
• Now with five albums to his credit – including this year’s The Secret Life Of – Casey has established himself as one of Ireland’s more interesting singer/songwriters. And catching him live in an intimate venue is pretty much where the man shines brightest.
