SUMMARY:6 Tracks\, a Series of Conversations\, Music and Performance at Hen’s Teeth
DESCRIPTION:Night-Time Economy Grassroots Music Venues Support Scheme\nHen’s Teeth is delighted to announce the return of 6 Tracks – their much-loved conversation and performance series – in their Blackpitts venue for a new show event season running monthly from July through November 2026. \nEach evening\, a musician sits down with hosts Laura Twagirayezu (aka Big Cheeks) or Sally Cinnamon to talk through six tracks – the songs that have shaped their sound\, their life\, the way they hear the world and how it impacted their craft\, followed by a live performance into the evening. Think Tiny Desk meets Desert Island Discs. \nThe series will begin with the incredible Sorcha Richardson on Thursday\, 30th July. 6 Tracks will then continue monthly with a line up of Ireland’s most talented and inspiring artists\, including Efé\, Brigid Mae Power\, Saoirse Miller and a very special guest to close out the series to be announced. \n6 Tracks at Hen’s Teeth is kindly supported by the Department of Culture’s Night-Time Economy Grassroots Music Venues Support Scheme. \n\n  \nEvent details\nDoors from 6:30pm till late \nWhen? Monthly from July – November\, full line up and dates below \nTickets: €15 per night including booking fees from Eventbrite. \nWhere: Hen’s Teeth\, Blackpitts\, Dublin 8\, D08A9FD \n\nAbout the Acts\nSorcha Richardson (30th July)\nSorcha Richardson is an Irish singer and songwriter. She rose to critical acclaim from her debut album First Prize Bravery\, which was an evocative depiction of young adulthood\, a time during which she ventured from home in Dublin to New York\, Los Angeles and back again. Her follow up album Smiling Like an Idiot cemented her status as one of Ireland’s most revered songwriters and saw her tour North America\, Europe and Australia\, both as a headliner and as a special guest for artists such as Snow Patrol\, Mitski and Dermot Kennedy. \nShe returns this September 2026 with her third album\, Draw The Outline. Made after relocating to West Kerry\, it’s her most intimate and reflective record to date – trading synth-led textures for acoustic guitar\, woodwinds\, saxophone\, Hammond organ and piano\, and turning her gaze inward. \nBrigid Mae Power (27th August)\n \nBrigid Mae Power’s music never quite settles on solid ground. The Irish singer-songwriter sits between past and present\, between traditional and modern forms\, between the heaven in her voice and the earthbound epiphanies of her words. There’s something distinctively Irish in her sound\, delivered with a freshness and emotional rawness that feels entirely her own. \nShe’s released three albums to date\, including her acclaimed 2022 record Head Above the Water\, which was Rough Trade’s Album of the Month and earned praise from Pitchfork\, Mojo\, Uncut\, The Guardian and The Irish Times. Her albums blend traditional folk and country into something that feels both personal and wide-reaching. \nHer most recent record\, Songs for You\, is a heartfelt collection of covers dedicated to her father\, reworking songs by Roy Orbison\, Tom Verlaine\, Neil Young and Cass McCombs into something minimal\, intimate and entirely her own. \nEfé (24th September)\n \nEFÉ is an Irish artist hailing from Dublin. EFÉ released her debut EP What Should We Do This Summer in October 2020 which was recorded in her bedroom with the help of her friends. Her music is a sunny slice of bedroom pop\, evoking images of blue skies on a summer’s day using shimmering synth pads and funky\, modulated guitar tones. EFÉ sets herself apart from other artists with the unique and playful groove that provides the grounding for her DIY style\, and definitely marks her as one to watch from the emerging Irish scene. Her music is effortlessly nostalgic\, pulling on indie-tinged memories of the late 1990s and early 2000s. \nAfter signing to US label Fader; home to artists such as Clairo – she leaned further into her rock influences for her most recent single releases in 2024\, Truth Truth\, 2000Seven and you say that I’m crazy\, lo-fi indie tracks that make space for guitars to soar. As she puts it\, “In earlier projects I was scared to go full force with the rock sound\, but this year I thought\, let me just do it.” \nSaoirse Miller (29th October)\n \nSaoirse Miller is a Dublin-based singer-songwriter and producer whose music is rooted in Irish folklore and mythology and a lifelong fascination with the otherworldly. Her sound – spanning experimental folk\, ambient textures and ethereal vocal production – is less about genre and more about world-building\, creating somewhere else entirely to disappear into. \nInfluenced by Florence and the Machine\, Grouper\, Lisa O’Neill and the poetry of W.B. Yeats\, Saoirse writes songs that transform personal feeling into something mythic. Her connection to place runs deep – her grandparents are from Mizen Head in West Cork\, and it’s a landscape she returns to again and again\, in her music as much as in life. \nHer debut EP\, Birds\, was written and produced entirely by Saoirse herself\, with each track designed to blend and interlude into the next as one continuous body of work. Mixed and mastered to tape by Karl Barnes\, Birds channels Irish traditional music and folklore through an electroacoustic lens\, resulting in a sound that feels both faded and familiar. \nAbout Laura Twagirayezu\nRwandan-born and Dublin-based\, Laura is a curator\, DJ and cultural connector whose work consistently brings depth and warmth to questions of music\, identity and community. Whether she’s hosting her own Lobby Lectures series\, curating listening events through her gallery UMUTI:MA\, or moving between Afrobeats\, Amapiano\, Soul and R&B in the DJ booth – she understands music as a lens. 6 Tracks is a natural home for that kind of conversation. \nAbout Sally Cinnamon\nSally Cinnamon is one of Dublin’s most well known DJs\, a fixture of Dublin’s nightlife since 2001. Her sets are genre-spanning by design\, moving fluidly between afrobeat\, techno and dubstep\, with a strong undercurrent of retro and psychedelic sound that gives her selections a relatability for all. She has also turned her hand to presenting\, hosting the Hennessy Sound Lounge\, where she interviewed Irish artists including David Kitt\, Pillow Queens\, Vivienne Dick and BP Fallon about the records that shaped their work. \nAbout Hen’s Teeth\nHen’s Teeth creates contemporary cultural experiences from Blackpitts in Dublin 8. The crew has got a love for art\, music\, food and culture and the space where they all come together – whether that’s through their own gallery & event space or for some of the interesting folks and brands that they collaborate with across the world. Previous music events include Hennessy Sound Lounge\, Move Slow & 6 Tracks. \n\nTickets & more information available at www.hensteethdublin.com

SUMMARY:ANIMALS
DESCRIPTION:“The law\, Noel. Without it\, all of us are animals in the jungle. Killing and eating and riding whatever we think we can get away with.” \n\n\nPrepare to suspend your disbelief. Then let it dissolve completely. \nUnstable realities resemble our wildest imagination in this absurdist spectacle – writ large and set loose on the national stage. \nANIMALS is a riotous and kaleidoscopic world premiere commissioned by the Abbey Theatre and based on the critically acclaimed short fiction of award-winning contemporary Irish writer Blindboyboatclub (The Gospel According to Blindboy\, Boulevard Wren\, Topographia Hibernica)\, adapted by Dan Colley (Lost Lear\, A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings). \nHidden mythologies emerge as we follow Erskine Fogarty and his fridge-freezer on the long road to Limerick\, the vengeful Pamela Furlong become a dogman\, a poitín maker haunted by a cormorant\, and a dangerous liaison between two titans of Irish history. \nThe bizarreness of life is unmasked in this roaring and roaming new work that wonders aloud if the rowdy kids down the back of class might have been onto something all along. \n  \n\nCredits:\n\nFrom the short stories of: Blindboyboatclub\nAdapted and Directed by: Dan Colley\nSet Design: Owen Boss\nCostume Design: Saileóg O’Halloran\nLighting Design: Suzie Cummins\nComposition and Sound Design: Alma Kelliher\nVideo Design: José Miguel Jimenez\nSpecial Effects Design: Richard Babington\nMovement Director: Jessie Thompson\nAccess Design: Dee Roycroft\nDramaturg: Ruth McGowan\nVoice Director: Andrea Ainsworth\nAssistant Director: Ursula McGinn\nAssistant Costume Design: LaurA Fajardo Castro\nCasting: Barry Coyle and Dawn Mac Allister\nPublicity Artwork: Sarah Moloney

SUMMARY:LAURA VEIRS
DESCRIPTION:Portland\, Oregon-based singer-songwriter\, Laura Veirs\, blends the poetic sensibilities of folk with the rough edges of indie rock. Her career has seen her collaborate with luminaries such as kd lang\, Neko Case\, Sufjan Stevens\, Jim James\, The Decemberists\, Bill Frisell and many more. \n2026 sees Laura return with her new album\, Temple Songs— her first in four years and the first she has written\, recorded\, arranged\, produced and performed entirely on her own. It captures a songwriter in peak form. The album is intimate\, dreamy\, brave and quietly defiant\, built around Veirs’ intricate fingerstyle nylon-string guitar\, vulnerable vocals and bold electric guitar embellishments. The new songs lend themselves perfectly to being performed live in a stripped-back form\, with Laura accompanied only by Karl Blau on electric guitar.

SUMMARY:Laura Veirs
DESCRIPTION:Portland\, Oregon-based singer-songwriter\, Laura Veirs\, blends the poetic sensibilities of folk with the rough edges of indie rock. Her career has seen her collaborate with luminaries such as kd lang\, Neko Case\, Sufjan Stevens\, Jim James\, The Decemberists\, Bill Frisell and many more. \n2026 sees Laura return with her new album\, Temple Songs— her first in four years and the first she has written\, recorded\, arranged\, produced and performed entirely on her own. It captures a songwriter in peak form. The album is intimate\, dreamy\, brave and quietly defiant\, built around Veirs’ intricate fingerstyle nylon-string guitar\, vulnerable vocals and bold electric guitar embellishments. The new songs lend themselves perfectly to being performed live in a stripped-back form\, with Laura accompanied only by Karl Blau on electric guitar.

SUMMARY:Éire to Everywhere: Stories Without Borders with Isadore Ryan
DESCRIPTION:This event offers an opportunity to hear Isadore Ryan discuss the themes\, stories and inspirations behind Irish Paris\, as well as the rich histories that connect Ireland and France. Through conversation and audience questions\, the evening will explore themes of emigration\, identity and cultural exchange\, reflecting on how Irish people have shaped and been shaped by life abroad. Closely aligned with EPIC’s exploration of the Irish diaspora\, the discussion will bring to life the vibrant and often unexpected experiences of Irish emigrants in Paris across the centuries\, before concluding with a book signing. \nTicket holders should arrive about 10 minutes before 5:30pm at the Visitor Information desk within chq. There they will be escorted to the event’s location. We would ask that you arrive no later than 5:35pm\, as it’s imperative these events begin on time to ensure the best experience for the author and for our visitors. \nAbout the Book\nIrish Paris brings the vibrant history of the Irish in the French capital to life through nearly ninety captivating portraits. From Saint Fiacre to Charles Haughey\, and from seventeenth-century vagrants to Oscar Wilde\, this book reveals the fascinating – and sometimes unexpected – ways Irish expats have shaped and been shaped by Paris\, from the seventh century to today. \nAbout the Author\n\nBorn in Dublin\, Isadore Ryan has lived outside Ireland for several decades\, largely in Paris\, but also in cities such as Frankfurt\, Milan\, Trieste\, Geneva and San Francisco\, building a career as a financial journalist and editor. \nIsadore has published three books on the Irish in Europe: ‘No Way Out—The Irish in Wartime France’\, ‘Roman Imbroglio—Italy and the Irish During World War Two’ and ‘Irish Paris—stories of famous and infamous Irish people in Paris through the centuries’. The most recent of the numerous articles he has penned\, ‘Fool of Fortune: Stanislaus Joyce’s wartime travails’\, appeared in the May/June 2026 edition of History Ireland. \nIsadore has also produced a YouTube series called ‘Forgotten Irish in Europe’ (www.youtube.com/@ForgottenIrishinEurope) and is currently completing a book on the same theme. \n\nEndorsements of Irish Paris\n“What is it they say about Paris—city of dreams\, city of lights\, city of love? It has been all these things and more to the hordes of Irish soldiers\, nobles\, priests\, writers and vagabonds who came and went over the centuries (..) Now a Paris-based writer\, Isadore Ryan\, has chronicle the stories of Irish people who left their mark on the city\, from the fleeting visit of bank robber ‘Chicago May’ Duignan from Longford\, to the writer Samuel Beckett and Margaret Kelly\, the founder of the Bluebill Girls dance troupe.” – Liam Collins\, Sunday Independent

SUMMARY:MEREDITH by Erica Murray
DESCRIPTION:Set against the backdrop of a single Sunday afternoon in County Meath\, Meredith is a darkly comedic drama that peels back the layers of a family held together by secrets\, shared history\, and a stubborn refusal to age gracefully. Meredith is written by Erica Murray and directed by Annabelle Comyn as part of Dublin Theatre Festival.   \nMeredith’s daughter\, Noelle\, attempts to manage her mother’s recovery with rigid rules and downstairs beds\, Meredith is busy exploring the world of online dating\, lending money to mysterious men and striking up a flirtatious “friendship” with her eccentric new neighbour\, Terry.  \nThe arrival of Meredith’s grandson Lorcan\, who is under a self-imposed “house arrest” after his own run-in with trouble sets off chain reaction of revelations.

SUMMARY:Genitorturers
DESCRIPTION:The Genitorturers stand as one of America’s most provocative forces in industrial metal—an electrifying collision of heavy riffs\, mechanical pulse\, and boundary‑shattering performance art. Led by the commanding presence of frontwoman Gen\, the band has carved a notorious legacy since the early ’90s\, merging the aggression of metal with the dark allure of fetish‑driven theatrics. \nTheir sound is a visceral assault: grinding guitars\, pulsating industrial beats\, and vocals that swing from seductive to savage. Anthems like “Lecher Bitch” and “Devil in a Bottle” showcase their signature blend of hedonistic themes and razor‑sharp intensity\, earning them a fiercely loyal global following. \nBut it’s onstage where the Genitorturers truly redefine the genre. Their live shows are infamous—part concert\, part shock‑art spectacle—featuring BDSM‑inspired visuals\, high‑voltage stunts\, and immersive\, taboo‑breaking performance pieces. Each show is a sensory gauntlet that leaves audiences stunned\, exhilarated\, and hungry for more. \nWith cult‑favorite releases such as Sin City and Blackheart Revolution\, the band continues to evolve while staying rooted in the industrial‑metal lineage shaped by acts like Rammstein\, Nine Inch Nails\, and Alice Cooper. Their world is one of dark glamour\, raw power\, and unapologetic rebellion.

SUMMARY:Lemoncello
DESCRIPTION:It’s hard not to feel seen by Lemoncello\, a band whose live performances and recordings shimmer with the tones of modern Ireland. Their upcoming release\, Perfect Place\, evolves from the band’s folk-soaked roots and confidently explores intricate new shapes. Marking a bold new chapter for singer-songwriter Laura Quirke & cellist-arranger Claire Kinsella\, Perfect Place is imbued with assuredness\, encompassing full band recordings that weave synths and electronic percussion into the band’s staple organic sound. \nThrough an intimate and devastatingly personal style of storytelling\, the new album reflects upon the the modern tension between togetherness and alienation & the chaos of human nature with radical acceptance and compassion. Perfect Place follows on from the band’s debut self-titled record\, which received critical acclaim from BBC Radio 6 Music\, Clash\, The Line Of Best Fit. Described as “direct and refreshing”\, “cathartic” by critics at Mojo and RNR\, the duo speak to listeners in the way that an ex or an old friend might – cultivating a sense of consolation that leaves audiences forgetting there’s a world outside of the venue. Lemoncello’s body of work is equally familiar and confronting\, driven by the palpable chemistry of a long-term friendship.

SUMMARY:A.S. Fanning
DESCRIPTION:A.S. Fanning – Take Me Back To Nowhere \nA.S. Fanning is an Irish songwriter whose music fuses the introspection of indie folk with the expansive weight of alternative rock and psychedelic music. Marked by layered textures\, melancholic atmospheres\, and his resonant baritone\, his songs confront themes of dread\, mortality\, and uncertainty. Drawing comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Scott Walker\, Fanning transforms unease into hauntingly beautiful soundscapes\, blending acoustic intimacy with subtle electronic flourishes to create a voice that is both timeless and distinctly his own. A.S. Fanning’s latest album Mushroom Cloud earned widespread acclaim in the UK\, praised for its sweeping atmospheres and unflinching lyricism. Hailed in the press as a career-defining work\, it secured him recognition as Songwriter of the Year 2023 in Far Out Magazine and cemented his reputation as one of Ireland’s most compelling voices. \nHis upcoming album Take Me Back to Nowhere was shaped by disorientation\, fracture\, and a fascination with the unstable nature of reality. Written while housebound with a broken wrist\, the album reflects both physical limitation and creative paralysis\, where endless words became overwhelming chaos. Inspired by sci-fi authors like Ursula K. Le Guin and J.G. Ballard\, the songs explore how imagination bends reality\, how anxiety reshapes the world into surreal\, isolating landscapes. \nAlongside this inner turbulence came the constant noise of global conflict\, viewed through the prism of social media\, and the sense of a collapsing moral center. The surreal spectacle of war reduced to “content” deepened a feeling of unreality\, of civilization as mere facade. His vision of confusion as a valid form of entertainment became a guiding force: instead of resisting disorder\, the album embraces it. \nThe result is a work that oscillates between intimacy and disorientation\, rooted in the belief that there is no singular reality\, only fractured personal perspectives. “Take me back to nowhere” becomes both a plea for escape and an embrace of disorientation – a return to the void that precedes and outlasts us. Conceptual\, atmospheric\, and unsettling\, the album invites listeners into the depths of confusion.
