After years away raising a family, Herb returned to the guitar during lockdown — and never stopped. Eleven albums later, his acoustic sets blend sharp social commentary, poetry, and heart, earning him accolades like “Album of the Week” on French radio and a sold-out Whelan’s show.

Supporting on the night is Brian Casley, a Dundalk music stalwart known for his heartfelt, authentic songwriting.

After years on the local circuit — from pub sessions to festivals — Casley returns to his roots, crafting songs rich in honesty and craft.Real songs. Real connection.

Every Thursday at Toales — 9pm sharp, free in, no noise, just music.

If there’s one thing that defines Toales Live Venue, it’s its unwavering support for new and alternative music.

So much more than just a bar with a stage, Toales has become a home for original voices—bands and artists who push boundaries, take risks, and carve out their own path.

Whether it’s punk, metal, folk, electronic, or hybrid forms in between, Toales gives space and platform to sound that refuses to sit still.

On Friday 17th October, that spirit continues with D.C. Promotions presenting  Belfast rock quartet Empty Spaces with supports by Dundalk garage punk trio Fat Rabbit and T.C.O.L.

Doors open at 8pm, with €8 admission (or €5 for students)—a price point that reflects Toales’ commitment to accessibility.
