Whelan's, Saturday 21st September

Mic Christopher's 50th – Saturday 21st September, 2019, would have been Mic Christopher's 50th birthday. In his honour, friends, fans and admirers will stage a concert for him in his spiritual home of Whelan's. A vast array of talent will gather to sing Mic's amazing songs together. The line-up will feature a mixture of Mic's close friends and people he never met – all of whom will collaborate on his songs. With each passing year more people discover Mic's incredible songs and this concert celebrates that.

Line-up
Acko, Ailbhe Reddy, Alice Jago, Ann Scott, Aoife Carton, Clare Sands, Cry Monster Cry, Davy Lyons, Eve Darcy, Inni-K, Jane Willow, Karl Odlum, Leslie Keye, Lisa Hannigan, Margaret Healy, Mark Dignam, Mark Geary, Muireann, Nina Hynes, Paddy Casey, Sharon Horgan, Tim Burgess (The Charlatans), Q, Rónán Ó Snodaigh, Saoirse Casey, The Daydreamers, The Pale, Ultan Conlon.

All proceeds from the event will fund Aidlink‘s local partner charities in Kenya and Uganda. The core focus of the work Aidlink funds is based on capacity building within society by empowering women, which begins with education, but also includes irrigation and sanitation. The welfare of children was a huge concern of Mic's, so it’s fitting that the funds will be used in this way.

National Concert Hall

The new all-star trio of Beěla Fleck, harpist Edmar CastanŢeda and drummer Antonio Saěnchez features instrumentation that might safely be called unusual. Unless, of course, you’re already familiar with 19-time Grammy Award winner Fleck — the genre-blurring virtuoso who has done more to expand the possibilities of the banjo than any other player in the instrument’s history. From his bluegrass beginnings through his otherworldly Flecktones, his duo with Chick Corea and his astonishing reimagining of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, Fleck’s work never fails to surprise.

Damien Dempsey

Iveagh Gardens

Often compared to the likes of Christy Moore, Luke Kelly, and Shane MacGowan, the music of Damien Dempsey is formed from his experience growing up in Dublin in the mid-70s.

It would be another three years before Dempsey would release his first album, 'They
