Loads of live music at Dundalk's Toales again this week (cloned)


Rory Shaun, Koi, Blue Denim, The Dundalk Dolls and Sound of Sabbath will perform in Toales Live Venue
There’s plenty on in Toales this week.
Thursday 16th July - Fireside Sessions presents RORY SHAUN + Koi - Starts at 9pm - Free admission.
Fireside Sessions continues at Toales, Dundalk on Thursday, July 16th, with a free night of local original acoustic music from Rory Shaun and support from Koi.
Rory Shaun brings an intimate, alternative edge to the evening, with songs shaped by melody, reflection and a strong 90s-inspired songwriting feel.
His stripped-back style fits naturally into the Fireside setting, where the focus is firmly on songs, stories and close-up connection.
Also on the bill is Toales regular Koi, the Dundalk indie singer-songwriter whose warm, melodic sound has made him a familiar name on the local original music scene.
The show takes place in Toales on Crowe Street from 9PM, with free admission.
Friday 17th July - THE DUNDALK DOLLS & BLUE DENIM double headline - Doors open 8pm. Admission only €5
Toales Live Venue hosts a proper hometown double-header on Friday 17 July, with Blue Denim and The Dundalk Dolls sharing the bill.
Blue Denim bring a loose, genre-hopping mix of country, soul and groove-led oddness, with titles like “I Walk The Goose” and “The Wee Hen” suggesting a band with tunes, swagger, and possibly access to livestock-based inspiration.
The Dundalk Dolls arrive with their own catalogue of sharp, melodic guitar tunes, including “Johnny Wrongun,” “The Waves Have Eyes” and “Sons of Oriel,” sounding every bit like a band with songs, bite, and just enough local mischief.
It’s a double headline, so no warm-up excuses: two Dundalk acts, one Friday night, and a Toales room built for this sort of beautiful racket.
Blue Denim + The Dundalk Dolls play Toales Live Venue, Dundalk, Friday 17 July. Doors 8pm.
Saturday 18th July - SOUND OF SABBATH Black Sabbath Tribute - Doors 8pm - Tickets €10/€12
The godfathers of heavy metal get the full tribute treatment when Sound of Sabbath arrive at Toales, Dundalk, on Saturday, July 18.
The Belfast-based band celebrate the music of Black Sabbath with a set spanning both the Ozzy Osbourne and Ronnie James Dio eras, digging into a catalogue packed with enormous riffs, dark atmosphere and some of the most recognisable songs in rock.
Expect classics including “War Pigs,” “Paranoid,” “Iron Man” and “Children of the Grave,” delivered with the weight and energy the material deserves.
Doors open at 8PM. Tickets are €10 in advance or €12 on the door.
