Brigit x District Muireann Bradley

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. Full programme details will be released in January. VisitDublin.ie/brigit

Brigit x District Gemma Dunleavy

Abbey Presbyterian Church

Brigit x District opens the festival weekend with a rare headline performance from Gemma Dunleavy. Since the release of UP DE FLATS in 2020, Dunleavy has largely stepped away from releasing music, choosing instead to refine her sound behind the scenes. Her return for Brigit feels timely. Rooted in stories of working-class Dublin and shaped by her upbringing in Sheriff Street, her club-pop songs balance emotional clarity with sharp, understated production. Set within the intimate surroundings of the Presbyterian Church, this show offers a focused live moment to mark Brigit: Dublin City Ce
