Double Headline Folk Night Hubert Murry and Stephen O'Dowd

A special evening of contemporary Irish folk music featuring Tullamore's singer songwriter Hubert Murray and Silgo's folk musician, Stephen O’Dowd.

Lost in a house of mix-tapes and stacks of old folk and blues records, Hubert sifted through each one, decomposing their lyrics and melodies. His songs feature lost loves, inner demons, and day-dreamers.

Sharing the stage, Sligo-born Stephen O’Dowd brings the weight of four generations of musical tradition into his vivid, modern folk sound. Drawing influence from Thom Moore, Planxty, and John Martyn, Stephen’s multi-instrumental performances weave myth, landscape, and melody together - bridging the ancient and the contemporary.

Together, Hubert and Stephen offer an immersive folk experience that celebrates songwriting, musicianship, and storytelling - a night where two distinctive voices meet under one roof for a powerful double headline concert.
