DERMOT KENNEDY

Ahead of two sold out 3Arena shows this December and following the incredible international success of his debut album ‘Without Fear’ (Read our 4-star review here), Dermot Kennedy today announces his biggest homeland headline shows yet at Malahide Castle Dublin and Irish Independent Park Cork next Summer.

“I wanted it to represent darkness and sorrow but also hope, and that battle between them, and the way that in life you’ll inevitably experience beautiful things and terrible things,” he says of the LP. ‘Without Fear’ dwells directly on a time when, just as he fell in love, he lost a close family friend. Writing songs has helped him deal with that rollercoaster time. “This is the only way I know how to put feelings across,” he says. “Great people like Van Morrison, they did this too. So, you’ve got to do it.”

We caught up with Dermot backstage in the Olympia Theatre for a quick chat in March 2018. Read the interview here.

Lennon Stella

At five-years-old, she picked up the guitar before eventually discovering piano. When she was 12-years-old, she rose to popularity as part of Lennon & Maisy, alongside her younger sister Maisy. Gaining national attention with a 2012 cover of Robyn’s “Call Your Girlfriend,” Lennon & Maisy achieved viral popularity to the tune of 100 million-plus YouTube views and just shy of 800,000 subscribers. She went on to star in the ABC/CMT smash Nashville as Maddie Conrad for six years.

Stella was streamed nearly half-a-billion times within a year of going solo and her debut album is set for release in 2020.

“To create a full body of work is the most important thing to me,” she smiles. “Literally, since I was a kid, the idea of having a record out was an obsession of mine. It’s all I could think about.”
