As part of the Live Performance Support Scheme, Dublin promoters Selective Memory present ‘Am & Áit’ a series of outdoor live events von the steps of the Pepper Canister Church which will commence with performances from Lisa Hannigan and Iarla O’Lionaird this August. The 400 capacity events will be fully seated with socially-distanced pods.

Lisa Hannigan will take to the stage with her band on Saturday 21st August, while the velvet-voiced Iarla O’Lionáird and the brilliant Aoife Nessa Frances come together to perform on Sunday 22nd August.

“The last 16 months or so have seen all our lives changed hugely by the onset of covid, and obviously the live music industry has been one of those most effected.” says Declan Forde of Selective Memory. “We’ve chosen to do an outdoor show partially to help create more employment with the infrastructure suppliers and employees who are the lifeblood of the outdoor events industry. And what better outdoor setting in the city centre than the spectacular beauty of the Pepper Canister Church. We have designed the shows and chosen artists that we feel appropriately reflect the unique setting. It must be said these shows are only possible with the funding from the Live Performance Support Scheme, which is helping keep our industry alive in these challenging times”

Tickets are €20 plus booking fee and go onsale only at www.selectivememory.ie this Tuesday 27th July at 9am.
