Jam-packed lineup in Dundalk's Toales Live Venue this week

There is loads of live music at Toales in Dundalk again this week.

Thursday 29th May - Toales' Fireside Sessions presents Clara Byrne + Joshua King at 9pm. Free admission

Toales' Fireside Sessions, the town’s intimate, free-admission acoustic series held inside the bar, welcomes back acclaimed singer-songwriter Clara Byrne on Thursday, May 29 at 9 pm.

A BIMM Dublin music graduate, Clara has toured Ireland and performed abroad in Berlin and San Francisco, supporting acts like Wallis Bird, Cathy Davey, Mick Pyro, and Neil Hannon.

She finds her lyrical inspiration in the world around her and seeks solitude from that world in the music she creates, with UK reviewer Get In Her Ears describing Clara's music as “a poignant reflection of the pressures and contradictions we encounter living under capitalism… (with) sincere lyrics and rich vocals”.

Local favourite Joshua King opens the night.
