Brigit x District Muireann Bradley

This event has ended

Abbey Presbyterian Church, Saturday 31st January

Brigit x District continues the festival weekend with Muireann Bradley, one of the most distinctive young voices currently emerging from Ireland’s folk and blues tradition.

An 18-year-old singer and guitarist from Ballybofey, County Donegal, Bradley specialises in acoustic fingerpicking styles drawn from early country, Piedmont and ragtime blues. Her debut album I Kept These Old Blues brought this tradition to new audiences, earning widespread attention for its clarity, restraint and deep respect for the form. Rooted in careful listening and craft, her playing carries the weight of musical inheritance while feeling strikingly present.

Presented as part of Brigit: Dublin City Celebrating Women   [30 Jan – 2 Feb 2026] — a celebration marking renewal, creativity and women’s cultural contribution — this intimate performance offers a rare opportunity to hear an artist whose work honours the past while confidently shaping its future.

Presented in partnership with District Magazine.

Brigit: Dublin City Celebrating Women is brought to you by Dublin City Council.
