We are so back. After a summer of rest and recovery, Light Gallery finally end the gig drought with two (YES TWO) FREE gigs this week across the country!

On Thursday night, we head down to the Harbour Bar in Bray for an evening of fun with our fellow Gallery heads @glassgalleryband

And on Saturday at 6pm, we’re making our Monaghan (and festival debut) at the @altblosstage in McKennas for the Monaghan Harvest Blues Festival! This is not one to miss. We can guarantee that.

See you guys there (hopefully)

The traditional and official opening of the Harvest Time Blues Festival — The Monaghan Blues Jam in @mckennasbarmonaghan 🎸

What a night! 🎶 The place was jammed, the spirits were high, and it was the perfect start to the weekend. Lots of familiar face but lots of new ones too which is wonderful to see ❤️‍🔥

See you all for some more tonight! 😎

🎟️ Some tickets still left for the late night gigs - link in bio or visit Eventbrite or harvestblues.ie
Option to pay at the door but not guaranteed as it may be a sell out 👀

Fresh off a world tour with Grammy nominated Fontaines D.C., Monaghan native Conor Curley joins us for a Blues set at this year’s Harvest Time Festival 😎

Conor did his time in @mckennasbarmonaghan (Ireland’s original ‘Home of the Blues’) over the years as both a barkeep and an entertainer playing tunes. And I’m sure a pint or two was drank somewhere in between 🤪🍻

We’re honoured to have him and this specially curated band play a slot for us, as it’s far from Grammy’s we were reared, but we really couldn’t be prouder of him and his success 🥹👏🏼

Saturday 6th | 8PM - 8.30PM | Heineken Blues Barn

🎟️ Main Stage tickets & weekend combos: harvestblues.ie or Eventbrite
