Sitges Live - Creative Connexions

24/12/2024

Wishing you all a peaceful, joyful festive season and a healthy, happy New Year, from the team at Artscope!

20/12/2024

After 10 incredible festivals in Sitges over the past 12 years, we believe 2025 marks an exciting opportunity to embark on a comprehensive review and reflection with our festival team. Together with our wonderful Sitges and Irish partners, we aim to reimagine the next chapter for the future of Creative Connexions Ireland.

This journey will begin in January, and while we work on crafting our vision and documenting our plans, we’ll hold off on any announcements. This process could lead to reimagining the Creative Connexions Ireland brand, refining our programme and exploring new possibilities or even changing the dates to allow more affordable travel. The next few months promises to be filled with exploring this potential!

Be sure to stay tuned to our website and social media channels for updates and fresh Creative Connexions Ireland news!

Alan Burke is widely regarded as one of the finest ballad singers of his generation. Well-known as a member of the Rambling Boys of Pleasure, Alan possesses an almost inexhaustible repertoire of traditional, contemporary, and self-penned songs in both English and Irish. He made his name with the band Afterhours in the 1980s and 90s, and later joined bands like At First Light and Tulsk, while contributing to projects such as the Irish Sea Sessions. Alan has performed and collaborated in Liverpool and London, and was involved in The Dublin Song in 2021/22. His distinctive guitar style and commanding stage presence have been featured on two highly acclaimed solo albums, On The Other Hand (1998) and Tip of the Tongue (2000), alongside numerous recordings and collaborations throughout his career.
A commanding performer with a voice that is powerful, sensitive, and crystal clear, Alan’s gigs are always truly memorable.

This event is sponsored by Tres Quarts Sports Bar, the perfect place to enjoy live matches with friends in a fantastic atmosphere.
