We’re delighted to see Bold Frontiers take over Dundalk from 9th–11th October, bringing three days of music, art, creativity and unexpected discoveries to venues right across our town.

At Glen Gat House, we’re especially delighted to be looking after a number of the artists involved in this year’s festival. We have a fantastic connection with our friends at The Spirit Store, and it’s wonderful to play our part in welcoming the people who bring Dundalk’s vibrant music and arts scene to life.

From The Spirit Store to Dundalk Gaol, St Nicholas Church and venues throughout the town, there’s something wonderfully different about a festival that celebrates local culture, creativity and community.

Bold Frontiers runs from 9th–11th October.
Best of luck to all the artists, organisers and venues involved. We’re proud to be part of the hospitality that makes Dundalk such a special place to visit.

Enjoy the festival everyone! 🙌

June was a fabulous month with lots of fun and groovy stuff so here is a little snippet of what I got up to

Fabulous session at 123 for the even more fabulous @thomo_98 and @gaffermtg

I’m trying this multiple caption thing it’s very weird but slightly cool

The setup for said session with some beautiful Istanbul cymbals

Setup for the amazing @annabarrowman show at the ritzy

View from the cockpit for the sold out screening of @annabarrowman new short film “in good hands” where we played the soundtrack to the movie at the fabulous after party

Little snippet of the magic that was endured by the audience that evening

Setup for @pinktiger_uk at the Sindicombe social

TRAck 7: @gaffermtg - WHATIMINTO

This song I was determined to include on the album. Gaff is an boundary pushing artist, waving the flag for Irish music. He perfectly crafts the fusion of genres, pulling from both Indie and Hip Hop worlds. His ability to combine his production in the box and with his guitar is unrivalled. No one sounds like Gaff. There’s only one Gaff and that’s what makes him sonically unique. From 2020 til now, the feeling remains the same. Every time I hear his music, I’m reminded this man is a star in the making.

Unearthed Vol.1 is available now on digital stores, including Bandcamp. 💽

2025, What A Ride.

Thanks for all the adventures, good times and hard times. It’s only in looking back that I can see that any disappointments or despair helps open up the space for new hopes. Hope arises, after all, in uncertainty: one hopes for something because one is not sure that it will come about. For the Not yet. So I’m thankful for it all.

Thanks to all the amazing artists I got to work with, thank you so much for trusting me with your art.

2026 Lets go.
