Fireside Sessions is an acoustic club that showcases the best in acoustic acts, always inside by the fire in the bar, always free admission, and is proud to welcome back for another Fireside Session Ben Reel. Since releasing his debut album This Is the Movie in 1999, Ben has consistently reinvented his sound, blending influences from folk, soul, reggae, rock, and jazz. Critics compare his style to icons like John Hiatt, Dylan, and the Band, while others have dubbed him the Irish Springsteen, but with a voice and artistry uniquely his own.

Over a 25-year solo career, Ben has earned global acclaim, with appearances on major platforms like BBC, RTE, and Dutch NPO Radio. He’s shared the stage with legends like Jools Holland and The Cranberries and collaborated with artists such as Hal Ketchum, David Olney, and Nanci Griffiths.

In 2020, Ben released his 9th album, The Nashville Calling, produced by Will Kimbrough and Tommy Womack, featuring E Street Band’s Garry W. Tallent on bass. Recorded in Nashville, the album topped the Euro Americana charts and marked a career milestone.

Ben has performed at iconic venues like the Bluebird Café and toured extensively, including with Tommy Womack and Eric Andersen. He’s headlined renowned festivals such as Jamming@Hippie Jacks (USA), Haarlem Jazz (NL), and Electric Picnic (IE). With a loyal international fan base, Ben Reel remains a tireless troubadour and a vital presence on the global music scene.

Show starts 9pm and, as always for Fireside Sessions, admission is FREE!

InBetween Honey have crafted a radio-ready sound, blending their love for ‘90s guitar music with the synth-driven vibes of the ‘80s. United by a shared passion for diverse genres, the band has built a reputation with sold-out shows at iconic venues like Whelan’s and The Workman’s Club, as well as standout performances at Electric Picnic in 2019 and 2023. They’ve also shone at Whelan’s Ones to Watch festival and shared the stage with legends such as Aslan, Paddy Casey, and Turn.
In 2022, the band released five singles and their debut EP, Ludlow Street, which earned them the title of Cobra Promotions’ Best Debut EP 2023. Their momentum only grew in 2024 with the release of their single Nothing More, hailed as “world-class” by Radio Nova’s Pat Courtney. The year also saw a milestone international debut at London’s iconic Dublin Castle in Camden.

Co-headlining the night are Dundalk natives Orwells ’84, whose sound fuses influences ranging from David Bowie and Nick Cave to Arctic Monkeys and The Beatles. Known for their unique blend of indie-folk and genre-defying artistry, Orwells ’84 pair feel-good melodies with poignant social commentary, securing their place as one of Dundalk’s most exciting musical voices.

The evening also features support acts: singer-songwriter Koi and electronica outfit Spinitch.
Doors open at 8 PM, and tickets are €10.
