Clara Byrne takes to the stage in Toales in Dundalk tonight

Tonight, Saturday 20th January - Clara Byrne plus support Alex Conroy.

Another of Toales' free intimate acoustic gig inside in the bar, this time featuring the amazing Bray singer songwriter Clara Byrne.

Clara a song writing graduate of BIMM Dublin and has played all around Ireland and gigged extensively while living abroad in Berlin and San Francisco, and has been fortunate enough to support a wealth of Irish talent including Wallis Bird, Mick Pyro (Republic Of Loose), Cathy Davey and Neil Hannon (Divine Comedy).

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”.

Support on the night comes from Dublin born indie-folk songwriter Alex Conroy.

First act on 9pm, free admission.
