The Stunning and David Kitt for free Galway gigs
The Stunning will take to the stage of Ballinasloe’s Town Hall Theatre this Saturday night at 8pm to play hits such as including Brewing up a Storm, Half Past Two, Romeo’s on Fire, Heads are Gonna Roll and Brighten up my Life. Meanwhile David Kitt will be in Clifden next Friday, October 22, performing songs from his new album, 20.
These gigs are the fourth in the Ceol an tSamhraidh series of free live music events being presented by Galway County Council Art and Tourism Offices as part of the Government’s Local Live Performance Programming Scheme.
The Stunning were a force to be reckoned with in 1990s’ Ireland. In their initial seven years together, they played and toured continually, becoming one of the most successful homegrown bands ever. Their debut album, Paradise in The Picturehouse. spent five weeks at number one and became among the most popular Irish albums of all time. The band split for a period and the individual members still continue to pursue their own projects, but they also perform together regularly. And now that restrictions have eased, they’re ready for road.
Meanwhile, the Station House Theatre is the location for David Kitt’s debut Clifden show next weekend.
Known for his sense of musical adventure, David was invited by David Bowie to perform at the Bowie-curated Meltdown Festival at London’s Royal Festival Hall in 2002. He has also worked with David Gray, toured with Tindersticks and collaborated with RnB singer, Fehdah, and singer and producer, Kean Kavanagh.
David’s latest album marks the 20th anniversary of his debut release, Small Moments, and features songs from his back catalogue in a pared-back presentation.
Both events must be booked in advance. This can be done at the Ceol an tSamhraidh Eventbrite page.
