James Vincent McMorrow gathers some of the most exciting young Irish musicians for an evening of the vibrant sounds of modern Ireland.

As well as McMorrow’s own folk-tinged indie rock, the line-up tonight also includes metal-inspired acoustic group The Scratch; punchy, poppy emo-folk-rock from Sorcha Richardson; Aby Coulibaly’s summery, soulful RnB; and contemporary folk artist Niamh Regan. Every artist on this bill is someone McMorrow personally enjoys listening to and represents exactly what he feels it means to be a modern Irish musician.

Over the last decade, Dublin-born James Vincent McMorrow has established himself as a multi-faceted singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer - working on albums from the likes of Drake. He has a network of collaborators that stretches around the world and across folk, hip-hop, RnB and more, and is a platinum-selling artist who has clocked up over a billion streams and reached number one in the Irish charts.
