Remind me about this event
Fiachna Ó Braonáin (founding member of Hothouse Flowers) and Tom Dunne (lead singer of Something Happens) and have joined forces with Alan Connor (pianist with The Late Late Show house band and long-time member of Sharon Shannon's band) to form a unique trio. This special night features songs from both the Hothouse Flowers and Something Happens, plus a selection of the trio’s all-time favourite tracks.
Between them, Tom and Fiachna have released 11 studio albums (four of which reached #1), seven live albums and undertook an estimated two dozen tours of the US. Alan Connor brings a touch of Billy Preston-style magic to the stage, having played on more albums than one could count. While Tom and Fiachna have crossed paths on the world's stages over the years, the idea of collaborating musically only recently came to life.
Fast forward to now – the trio has played around 50 shows together, and each one has been magical. Naturally, the night isn’t just about the music – it’s full of stories, too. Expect an evening of stories and shared memories, unforgettable songs and harmonies, jaw-dropping musical moments, guitar, low whistle, and charm, laughter, tears, and maybe even a sing-along. And still… you’ll be back in bed by eleven.
