Yann Tiersen

This event has ended

Whelan's, Saturday 24th June

Yann Tiersen will embark on a tour like no other when he departs from his home – Ushant, an island off the Breton coast – this summer and sets sail for a tour of Celtic lands and the Faroe Islands.

Tiersen & fellow artist QUINQUIS will be travelling on their sailboat, Ninnog – named after a medieval mother superior, born in 414 who travelled from Wales to Brittany, becoming a protector of women and a champion of sustainability and forestry – to a series of performances in Ireland, Wales, Scotland, England and the Faroe Islands. Please note that QUINQUIS will not be appearing at Yann’s headline shows in Ireland (Cork, Dublin and Belfast).

The tour is intended as a direct political statement on the ecological impact of largescale touring, offering alternative ways of thinking around established methods of touring.

Beans on Toast

The Grand Social

Essex born folk songwriter ‘Beans on Toast’ is an extremely unique performer. Twisting an age-old genre with a D.I.Y. approach and contemporary concerns has earned him the title of a cult figure who tells it like it is. A festival favourite (he’s played Glastonbury every year since 2005) and a prolific writer and performer. He’s written and recorded 16 albums and he’s played every bar, club, venue, pub, festival, party and honky-tonk you can think of. He’s a hippy, a punk, a poet, a drunk, a die-hard romantic and an eternal optimist. Singing simple songs that tackle big issues.
