***NEW SHOW***
THE SCRATCH
Live at the Big Top, Friday October 2nd
Tickets on sale Thursday April 2nd at 10am from Dolans.ie

The high-voltage folk-metal band have been busy on the road with the Dropkick Murphys across the US, packing-out festival sets across Europe, supporting Dermot Kennedy in Australia and performing at the UK’s Download Festival.

The band’s third album Pull Like A Dog is a refinement of the acoustic/electric, folk/metal fusion they laid out on Mind Yourself, resulting in the band’s most polished, high-octane album to date. “As a band, this feels like a new beginning,” says Conor (guitar, backing vocals). “I think the changes we’ve faced have given us a lot of room to grow, maybe into roles we felt were off limits before. Openness, perseverance, and positivity – this album embodies all of that.”

The Scratch are Conor Dockery, Cathal McKenna, Daniel Lang, and Gary Regan.

BIIRD kick off their Holy Show Tour in Limerick, April 17th.
Tickets here: https://dolanspresents.yapsody.com/event/index/858947/biird

BIIRD is a brand new Irish trad supergroup made up of 11 of Ireland's finest musicians, singers, lilters and lunatics. Bursting onto the scene Paddys Day 2024 at Trafalgur Sq, London, BIIRD made their debut to 10k people and caused an immediate fandom-frenzy, going on to sell out their 3 headline shows and packing out the big tent at ATN in August. Coming together over the years through their shared love for trad and subsequently becoming best mates, these 11 talented women bring a truly unique collective energy to the stage that will have you dancing and singing like the feral creature you are one minute and weeping with pride the next. BIIRD will soon be a household name. Don't miss your chance to see them!

Following the overwhelming success of the Shane MacGowan tribute, The Sharon Shannon Big Band returns with another powerful and heartfelt production. This year, Sharon Shannon and her extraordinary ensemble of musicians and singers—including the legendary Steve Earle, Liam Ó Maonlaí, Mundy and Camille O’Sullivan—bring you a celebration of Ireland’s world-famous musical tradition and its far-reaching influence, both at home and abroad.

Drawing from the rich anthology of Irish music and the traditions it has inspired, this show is a vibrant journey through the songs that define us—songs of love and heartache, emigration and longing, resilience and rebellion, and the timeless beauty of Ireland’s landscapes. The ensemble breathes new life into cherished old ballads while giving fresh, traditional treatments to beloved classics.

A special highlight of the evening will see Sharon, Mundy, and Steve Earle come together on stage to perform the world-famous “Galway Girl”—a rare moment uniting the artists who each helped make the song a global sensation.

Joining Sharon on stage is an exceptional line-up of musicians, including Alan Connor, Richie Buckley, and Gerry O’Connor—each bringing their own artistry to create a performance that is both intimate and unforgettable. Together, they blend the spirit of traditional Irish music with contemporary creativity, honouring the legacy of our song tradition with power and grace.

This is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of who we are as a people, and an invitation to experience the deep emotional resonance of Ireland’s music. From the poignant strains of our ballads to the raucous joy of our reels and jigs, this show will stir your soul, lift your spirits, and maybe even bring a tear to your eye.

Join us for an unforgettable evening that bridges past and present, capturing the very heart of Irish life and culture.
