SUNDAY DECEMBER 14: BELFAST Sunflower (Upstairs) The Lagan Sessions
My first time at the Lagan Sessions in a few years, and it will be a treat to be back. I’ll be performing a set with the great David McCann at around 3.15pm as part of an afternoon starting around 1pm - and featuring a host of artists including Sean McAuley, Edelle McMahon, Steve Amos, Stevie Mac, Ben Cutler and Marty Tohill. All proceeds will be going to the Simon Community.
THURSDAY DECEMBER 18: BELFAST The Sunflower Folk Club
I’ve been hoping to be included in the running for the second half of the year at the Sunflower, so I’m delighted to add this as the last show of 2025 - it’s such a lovely way to finish off the year among these friends and artists. Admission is only £5, payable at the door. Members of the club will be singing some selections from 9pm, and after a break, I’ll be performing a single set of about an hour’s duration. It’s their last meeting of the year, so it’s sure to be a busy one, so get there early if you’re planning to come along.

An afternoon gig that appears to have sold out almost as soon as it was announced - a mellow collection of classic country, with a bite of lunch included, as part of the lovely Out to Lunch Festival - doors open at 12.30pm and admission is only £10 - click here for updates in case I’ve read this wrong: https://bit.ly/433RtTa
