As known as Talos\, French departed this mortal coil way\, way too early but leaves a musical legacy that will be cherished by many for years to come. He was also responsible for providing one half of the creative output of the transformative 2022 hit show Accents\, written by Emmet Kirwan. \nPrompted by the birth of Kirwan’s first son\, the actor-writer explores the sounds of our voices and how they define us\, how we’re perceived and how they can give us power\,  a play that takes the form of eight poems delivered against French’s incredible soundtrack. \nThe show has its own unique universe with its own gravitational pull\, with an expanding and contracting celestial rhythm driven by Kirwan\, under the compelling and energetic direction of one of Ireland’s most exciting directors\, Claire O’Reilly. It is Kirwan’s Big Bang stage presence\, his pulsating life-affirming energies through words and movement that make this show a must for your new year outing. \nAccompanied by the amazing musical talents of Ben Bix and Brian (The Line) Dillon\, two classically trained musicians and members of the experimental electronic super group Melty Brains. Through their multi-instrumental talents they bring Eoin’s exquisite score to life. \nAmbassador Theatre\, Dublin\nThursday 16 + Friday 17 + Saturday 18 January @ 7.30pm\nTickets: €31.25/€50 + booking fee \nAmbassador Box Office – ticketmaster.ie URL:https://www.totallydublin.ie/event/accents/ LOCATION:Ambassasor Theatre\, Parnell Street\, Dublin 1\, Ireland CATEGORIES:Gig Listings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.totallydublin.ie/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/ACCENTS-_-Ben-Box-and-Emmet-Kirwan_C.-Fruit-Frame_9807-copy.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20241211T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20241211T230000 DTSTAMP:20260619T015608 CREATED:20241205T123839Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241205T123903Z UID:102820-1733947200-1733958000@www.totallydublin.ie SUMMARY:Rattling Ark DESCRIPTION:A night of beautiful music in store here as feted cellist Kevin Murphy debuts his new project Rattling Ark with some very special guest performers.

Two generational voices come together as Anohni takes on Reed’s classic catalogue and transgressive lyrics in her own inimitable style.

In 2003\, she was a supporting vocalist on the Animal Serenade tour and performed on a number of tracks on Reed’s Edgar Allan Poe inspired album The Raven. In 2006/2007 she sang backing vocals for Reed’s first full performance of Berlin in New York and Sydney. In addition\, Reed contributed vocals and guitar to ‘Fistful of Love’ from I Am a Bird Now.

The new album proved the five piece had not lost a step in the interim\, their tuneful and hook-laden songs invested with a new maturity\, and a wry energy. It has been almost a year since this writer has seen them perform\, but it is one of the shows I am looking forward to the most in a very busy calendar.

I would urge readers to seek out their brilliant 2021 debut\, ‘(re)constructed’\, which to this day\, years since its release\, has remained a mainstay in my weekly rotation. \nAlongside the excellent news about their campaign\, the band also announced a UK and Irish winter tour\, with Belfast and Cork dates\, alongside a sure to be sold out show at Dublin’s Grand Social on the 21st of November.

Those frenzied pioneers at Foggy Notions have once again facilitated an evening for the Guatemalan cello wǔnderkind to deliver an absolutely spellbinding meditation\, echoing her work with Belafonte Sensacional and Claire Rousay\, and the experie-metal supergroup she spearheads\, Amor Muere.

Singular Artists have got you covered. \nWider Than Pictures is fast becoming a summer highlight in Dublin.

With seven albums released since 2004 and over 20 million records sold worldwide\, Blunt’s popularity hasn’t faded and it’s no surprise that this performance has already sold out. \n \nOn August 25th\, The The bring their Ensouled world tour to Dublin\, their first since 2018. Active since 1979\, they’re one of England’s most loved bands. Matt Johnson’s political lyrics have always captured the zeitgeist so it’s a timely return.

Known for their compelling rock anthems like ‘Johnny Yen’ in the 1980s\, James achieved mainstream success with their 1990 album ‘Gold Mother’\, which included their massive hit ‘Sit Down’. When Amy Winehouse covered The Zutons song ‘Valerie’ the royalty cheques poured in and drew attention to one of the UK’s most entertaining bands. Recently reformed\, their appearance guarantees a top night out. \nGossip headline on the 27th\, marking their return with a first album in over a decade\, ‘Real Power’. The album celebrates creative expression while exploring themes of personal trauma.

The less said about our hypocrite headed to Eurovision\, the better\, but aside from them\, artists like Kneecap\, Gurriers and Soda Blonde have dropped out of performances at massive US festivals like SXSW for their ties to Israel. Lankum\, who share a member with the phenomenal ØXN\, have had shows cancelled in Germany and speeches cut from RTÉ Choice Prize Awards\, but whether it’s Ian Lynch’s ever present keffiyeh or Radie Peat‘s moving\, poignant words as they accept awards\, their work to voice the horrors happening in Gaza has been ceaseless. \nWith all proceeds going to MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians)\, this special performance also brings together experimental folk wunderkind\, Junior Brother\, art punk overlords Pretty Happy\, and the ecstatic jubilation that is Mohammad Syfkhan to do the right thing. To try to make a stand to aid the people of Palestine. \nWords: Adhamh Ó Caoimh \nMusic For Gaza takes place at 7.30pm on Tuesday June 11th at the Button Factory.

When I was pacing nervously up and down the backstage area of venues such as The Rock Garden and The New Inn in the 90s’\, stage time was usually 10pm with curfew at 11.30pm. These days if you arrive at 9.30 at a venue there’s a good chance the headliners are midway through their set. It’s hardly rock n roll so it’s good to see that one of our favourite venues is bucking the trend for their self curated Depot Sessions with live music programmed up until midnight. Proper gig time! Spread over two nights\, the sessions are a nicely curated 3 band line up per night with some red hot contenders in the mix. SexyTadhg\, Fizzy Orange and WineMom perform on Thursday while Really Good Time\, Squarehead and Cruel Sister are Friday’s bill of fare. All acts bring something fresh to the table and are well worth checking out. \nTickets are only a tenner and are available online from thecomplex.ie \nThe Depot Sessions take place at The Complex\, Smithfield from 8.30pm – 12am on Thursday June 6th & Friday June 7th.\n \nWords: Adhamh Ó Caoimh URL:https://www.totallydublin.ie/event/the-depot-sessions/ LOCATION:The Complex\, 15 Little Green St\, Smithfield\, Dublin 7\, Ireland CATEGORIES:Gig Listings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.totallydublin.ie/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/CRUEL-SISTER-DEPOT-SESSIONS-copy.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20240525T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20240525T230000 DTSTAMP:20260619T015608 CREATED:20240507T113100Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240507T113103Z UID:98318-1716667200-1716678000@www.totallydublin.ie SUMMARY:Lavery - ‘Jade Garden’ EP Launch DESCRIPTION:One of the most exciting prospects in Jazz and Soul in Ireland and the moment\, this Dublin based octet imbues their funky neo soul with an authenticity and musicianship that many of their contemporaries\, quite simply\, lack.

Boasting an absolute powerhouse of a voice in Annalise Furkin\, who fronts a lineup featuring Havana Roots/Yankari saxman Richard Ng and TBL8 Brass Band trombone player Martin Farrelly.
