The first time I got to photograph Tolu Makay live, was back in '21 in Vicar Street.

Her voice, her poise, everything screamed superstar.

She's was fantastic on Dancing With The Stars, but I can't wait to see her back gigging!

Lasair Bhríde - The Dew Drop Inn, Kill - February 1st, 2026 I'm not a musician — the furthest I ever got was playing  The Spanish Lady  on the tin whistle when I was 10 or 11.  Don’t get me wrong, I’l...

If you ever saw Sinead O'Connor perform, you know how great she was.

There wasn't a room big enough to contain her voice.

Her passion for music was immense, never settling on just one style, eager to stretch her talents.

Sinead should be 59 today.

Friday night, in the intimate surrounds of the Dew Drop in Kill, Co. Kildare, I got to see the legendary Luka Bloom perform as part of Féile Liam O'Flynn.

It was every bit as good as you'd think it was!

Gemma's currently on an Irish tour, you'd be mad to miss it.

I was in Whelan's in Dublin last night, I'd not been there in a while, so it was great to be back.

This is Roesy performing on the mainstage. I'd heard of him before, seen the name around, but it was my first time catching him live. Rather enjoyable set!

I stayed local tonight, I headed down to Facchinos in Naas to see the fantastic Dubh Lee perform.

It's a nice little venue. It's well protected, so none of the town noise can be heard. The old walls, covered in ivy, make for a great backdrop! Oh, and the food looks great, too!

It's not often you get the chance to sit in an intimate Secret Garden and have the incredible Lisa Hannigan perform to you.

Tonight though, at Hibernacle Music Festival, it happened and it was all kinds of wonderful.

I'm not sure what to say about Emmet O'Brien, because however I describe him, it wouldn't do justice...

Anyway, he's brilliant and he did a brilliant set in the Secret Garden at Hibernacle Music Festival tonight.

I think this is my first time seeing Jape live. My memory is not quite what it used to be, but I think I'm right.
