Paw-fect Rhythm with Dougie Payne and Rachel Seago

Merrion Square, Sunday 17th May

Who doesn’t love dogs and music! Don’t miss Dougie Payne from indie rock band Travis and picture book illustrator Rachel Seago!

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.” Dr. Seuss

A lively, music filled event, with songs specially written, full of heart, celebrating individuality, creativity, friendship, bravery and joy.

Poochie Pete’s Piano! Is the rhyming story of Pete, a lonely, scruffy pooch who was born with enormous feet which are always getting in the way of all he tries to do. With all of the chaos he leaves behind because of his big feet no one wants to be his friend and he longs to find his place in the world. It’s not until he discovers a music shop, and its helpful owner, Henry Large, that he finds his own song and the place where his heart truly belongs.

Dougie Payne is the multi-platinum selling bassist and backing vocalist with Scottish band Travis. Debut picture book illustrator Rachel Seago is inspired by nature, and the places and people she’s come across in her travels around the world.
