Almost Irish
2026-01-30 19:30 - 22:30 (Europe/Copenhagen) | Horsens Ny Teater, Teatertorvet, Horsens, 8700
Almost Irish is a young folk band from Denmark with experience, joy of playing, and a very special musical upbringing. The four members of the band have lived through that upbringing together—because, having the same mother and father, they are brothers. The soundtrack to the boys’ childhood played from their father’s record player, where countless Irish, Scottish, and Danish bands and folk singers performed songs that were hard to forget.
When the brothers reached school age, they each, one by one, enrolled in the local music school and began exploring different instruments. In 2002, they met Derry-born folk musician Denis McLaughlin, who truly introduced them to the world of Irish folk music, taught them to play the familiar songs from their childhood, and thus planted the seed that would grow into what is now Almost Irish. Since then, the boys have toured extensively across Denmark, with small detours to Norway, Germany, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. They have released five CDs—or six, if you count their very first, now sold-out CD, produced in a limited run of 15 copies. They’ve worked their way onto stages across the country and have gradually established a recognized and well-known name in the world of folk music.
Almost Irish has a deep understanding of traditional Irish and Scottish folk music and the advantage of knowing each other both as musicians and as brothers. Together, they bring a unique energy and joy of playing to the stage, and their broad repertoire of traditional songs and melodies reflects interpretation, creativity, innovation, and respect for tradition. Almost Irish are talented musicians—and not least, storytellers—and have therefore become a respected representative of the folk music tradition.

Almost Irish er et ungt folkband fra Danmark med erfaring, spilleglæde og en helt særlig musikalsk opvækst. Den har bandets 4 medlemmer nemlig gennemlevet i fællesskab, da de – som følge af at have samme mor og far – er brødre.
Soundtracket til drengenes barndom lød ud fra deres fars pladespiller, hvor utallige irske, skotske og danske bands og folkesangere sang sange, som var svære at glemme igen. Da brødrene nåede skolealderen, kom de – en efter en – i den lokale musikskole og fik prøvet kræfter med forskellige instrumenter. I 2002 mødte de den Derry-fødte folkemusiker, Denis McLaughlin, som for alvor introducerede brødrene til en verden af irsk folkemusik, lærte dem at spille de velkendte sange fra barndommen og såede således kernen til det, der i dag er Almost Irish. Siden da har drengene spillet landet tyndt med små afstikkere til Norge, Tyskland, Nordirland og Skotland. De har udgivet 5 cd’er, eller 6, hvis man tæller den første – og i øvrigt udsolgte – cd i et oplag på 15 eksemplarer med. De har spillet sig frem på landets scener og har efterhånden skabt sig et anerkendt og velkendt navn i folkemusikkens univers.
Almost Irish har en dyb forståelse for den traditionelle irske og skotske folkemusik og har den fordel at kende hinanden både som musikere og som brødre. Til sammen har de en unik energi og spilleglæde på scenen, og deres brede repertoire af traditionelle sange og melodier udtrykker fortolkning, kreativitet, fornyelse og respekt for traditionen.
Almost Irish er dygtige musikere – og ikke mindst fortællere – og er derfor blevet en respekteret repræsentant for folkemusikken.

Cornamusa DK - World of Pipe Rock and Irish Dance
2026-01-25 19:30 - 22:00 | Tivolis Koncertsal København, Vesterbrogade 3, København V, 1620, Denmark
Cornamusa – World of Pipe Rock and Irish Dance leverer et spektakulært show, hvor rockede sækkepiber, irsk dans i verdensklasse og dramatisk historiefortælling smelter sammen i en sansemættet oplevelse.
Publikum føres ind i en fængslende fortælling om frihed og kampen om den engelske krone under 1700-tallets jakobitteroprør – alt iscenesat i et imponerende show fyldt med dansere fra den internationale elite (bl.a. Gyula Glaser og Nicole Ohnesorge) og et prisbelønnet syvmand stort liveband.
I centrum står en konflikt, der rystede Europa: I 1714 skulle Sophie af Hannover, en protestant fra et tysk dynasti, blive dronning af England. Men i Skotland og Irland voksede modstanden. Jakobitterne – overbeviste katolikker og tilhængere af Stuart-slægten – kæmpede imod den nye protestantiske magt.Her møder vi Isla, født uden tale, men med en dansende styrke, der udtrykker mere end ord. Sammen med Finn, lederen af jakobitterne, bliver hun midtpunkt i en kamp om tro, frihed og sit folks fremtid.

Cornamusa – World of Pipe Rock and Irish Dance delivers a spectacular show where rocking bagpipes, world-class Irish dance, and dramatic storytelling merge into a sensory experience unlike any other.
The audience is drawn into a captivating tale of freedom and the struggle for the English crown during the 18th-century Jacobite uprising – all staged in an impressive production featuring elite international dancers (including Gyula Glaser and Nicole Ohnesorge) and an award-winning seven-piece live band.
At the heart of the story lies a conflict that shook Europe: In 1714, Sophie of Hanover, a Protestant from a German dynasty, was to become Queen of England. But in Scotland and Ireland, opposition grew. The Jacobites – devout Catholics and supporters of the Stuart line – fought against the new Protestant power.
Here we meet Isla, born without speech but with a dancing strength that speaks louder than words. Together with Finn, the leader of the Jacobites, she becomes the focal point of a struggle for faith, freedom, and the future of her people.

En tour de irsk folkemusik af i dag

Kom med på denne enestående tour de irsk folkemusik af i dag, til en koncertaften sammensat af Willie Steward fra det spændende, irske indielabel Nyahh Records. Koncerten præsenteres sammen med Final Descent.
“I started Nyahh Records because I kept hearing new music in Ireland that I was really excited about and wanted to work with, and that I thought deserved to reach more people. I find the quality of what’s coming out in Ireland right now to be amazing and I want to help to highlight it,” har Willie Stewart, der står bag det irske label Nyahh records, udtalt. Nu har han sammensat to forskellige koncertaftener på Alice med netop det formål: At fremhæve noget af det mest interessante, eksperimenterende irske musik lige nu.
Alle de artister, du kan opleve på de to koncertaftener, er affilieret med Nyahh records. Men hvad er det her … Nyahh? I følge Willie Steward refererer Nyahh til musikkens iboende sjæl. Men også til noget, som ikke helt er til at sætte sin finger på. “I like that the Nyahh is unclassifiable,” sagde han i det samme interview, “That’s how I would like the releases on the label to be as well”. Nyahh records udgiver især eksperimenterende musik og folkemusik fra Irland.Og denne aften kan du glæde dig til at opleve virtuositet på violin, lytte til bouzoukien og blive omgivet af stemningsfulde kompositioner fyldt med reallyde.
HEDGLING
Hedgling er en ny duo bestående af Natalia Beylis og Willie Stewart, som står bag Nyahh records. Tidligere har de spillet sammen i adskillige bands, bl.a. Woven Skull, Boneyard Witch og Divil A’ Bit. Med HEDGLING bygger de videre på disse samarbejder og skaber en ny musikalsk dimension. Deres lyd bevæger sig i rummet mellem det velkendte og de ukendte parallelverdener, som eksisterer omkring, over og under os. Percussion-konstellationer skabt af fundne objekter, knirkende harmoniumdroner og reallyd fra moser og skove omkring deres hjem smelter sammen til et intimt portræt af den verden, de deler.
Ultan O’Brien
Ultan O’Brien er en violinist og komponist fra det vestlige Irland, som dyrker både den traditionelle, irske musik, såvel som lydkunst og eksperimenterende musik. Med sin unikke tilgang og teknik fører Ultan O’Brien noget nyt til en tradition, der er tudsegammel, og spiller op til fest og store følelser, hvor end han stemmer sin violin.
Mohammad Syfkhan
Mohammad Syfkhan er sanger og bouzouki-spiller. Han begyndte at spille musik i 1980, mens han læste til sygeplejerske. Da han blev færdiguddannet, flyttede Mohammad til byen Raqqa i Syrien, hvor han desuden begyndte at arbejde som professionel sanger og dannede sit eget band, The Al-Rabie Band, som spillede til koncerter, fester, bryllupper og festivaler over hele Syrien og hurtigt blev et eftertragtet orkester. Deres liveoptrædener inkluderede kurdiske, arabiske, tyrkiske og enkelte ‘vestlige’ sange samt Mohammads eget materiale.
Mohammad fortsatte med at spille med sit band og at arbejde som operationssygeplejerske, indtil krigen i Syrien brød ud i 2011. Under krigen mistede Mohammad Syfkhans sin søn, som blev myrdet af ISIS. Derefter havde familien intet andet valg end at forlade deres hjem og søge mod Europa. Tre af Mohammads sønner slog sig ned i Tyskland, mens Mohammad, hans datter og hustru flyttede til Irland. Siden da har Mohammad brugt musikkens sprog til at integrere sig i det lokale fællesskab ved at spille til private fester og koncerter.

Join us on this unique tour of contemporary Irish folk music, for a concert evening curated by Willie Stewart from the exciting Irish indie label Nyahh Records. The concert is presented in collaboration with Final Descent.
“I started Nyahh Records because I kept hearing new music in Ireland that I was really excited about and wanted to work with, and that I thought deserved to reach more people. I find the quality of what’s coming out in Ireland right now to be amazing and I want to help to highlight it,” says Willie Stewart, the founder of the Irish label Nyahh Records. He has now put together two different concert evenings at Alice with exactly that purpose: to showcase some of the most interesting and experimental Irish music right now.
All of the artists you can experience across these two evenings are affiliated with Nyahh Records. But what is this … Nyahh? According to Willie Stewart, Nyahh refers to the soul inherent in music. But also to something that cannot quite be defined. “I like that the Nyahh is unclassifiable,” he said in the same interview. “That’s how I would like the releases on the label to be as well.” Nyahh Records mainly releases experimental music and folk music from Ireland. And tonight you can look forward to violin virtuosity, the sound of the bouzouki, and atmospheric compositions filled with field recordings.
HEDGLINGHedgling is a new duo consisting of Natalia Beylis and Willie Stewart, the founder of Nyahh Records. They have previously played together in several bands, including Woven Skull, Boneyard Witch, and Divil A’ Bit. With HEDGLING, they build on these collaborations to create a new musical dimension. Their sound moves through the space between the familiar and the unknown parallel worlds that exist around, above, and beneath us. Percussion constellations made from found objects, creaking harmonium drones, and field recordings from the bogs and forests surrounding their home merge into an intimate portrait of the world they share.
Ultan O’BrienUltan O’Brien is a violinist and composer from the west of Ireland, who works with both traditional Irish music as well as sound art and experimental music. With his unique approach and technique, Ultan O’Brien brings something new to an ancient tradition, sparking celebration and deep emotions wherever he tunes his violin.
Mohammad SyfkhanMohammad Syfkhan is a singer and bouzouki player. He began playing music in 1980 while studying to become a nurse. After graduating, Mohammad moved to the city of Raqqa in Syria, where he also began working as a professional singer and formed his own band, The Al-Rabie Band. They performed at concerts, parties, weddings, and festivals all over Syria and quickly became a sought-after orchestra. Their live performances included Kurdish, Arabic, Turkish, and some Western songs, as well as Mohammad’s own material.
Mohammad continued to perform with his band while also working as an operating room nurse until the war in Syria broke out in 2011. During the war, Mohammad lost his son, who was murdered by ISIS. After that, the family had no choice but to leave their home and flee to Europe. Three of Mohammad’s sons settled in Germany, while Mohammad, his daughter, and his wife moved to Ireland. Since then, Mohammad has used the language of music to integrate into the local community, performing at private parties and concerts.

And tonight you can look forward to everything from harp playing fused with electronica, to high-energy rap, and instrumental music that will transport you to another dimension. On the evening you can experience:
Méabh McKennaMéabh McKenna is a multi-instrumental sound artist based in Eastern Ireland. She plays various types of harp and also uses her voice, electronics, and found objects to create her enchanting sound. With many years of experimentation and collaboration behind her, her live performances have evolved from creating eclectic worlds of traditional, classical, and early music to weaving them together with contemporary and electronic elements. Her performances are in dialogue with both past and present, interlacing inner and imagined worlds.
E The ArtistDaranijoh Sanni, better known as E The Artist, is an experimental rapper, producer, and art director from Ayrfield in North Dublin. Inspired by Afrofuturism, E The Artist reimagines modern Black club genres in their loudest, boldest, and most intense expressions. Dance and rap styles, from jungle to grime, fuse with heavier tracks. With roots in Ireland, E The Artist turns his gaze toward the ever-emerging neocultures growing across the diaspora. You can be sure to be blown away by E The Artist’s high-energy show!
Eimear Reidy & Natalia BeylisCellist Eimear Reidy and experimental all-round artist Natalia Beylis conjure forest landscapes, cosmic moonrises, and drone journeys in their mesmerizing and seductive music. Based in Leitrim, Ireland, the duo has developed a distinctive musical language representing common ground between their individual styles. Often, the cellist and multi-instrumentalist improvise at their joint performances, where the tones intertwine like the roots of ancient trees.
In 2021, they released their first album together, followed in 2023 by the successor She Came Through the Window to Stand by the Door, recorded on Ireland’s second-oldest organ. Writing about the second album in The Quietus, Daryl Worthington noted: “The idea of sound being world building is common in ‘electronic’ music, whether modular or computer. Beylis and Reidy show that surroundings can be bypassed with acoustic means, and the conjured realms can be full of motion and life. Transportive isn’t quite the right word. Their music induces hyperphantasia.” Look forward to stepping into new worlds with Eimear Reidy and Natalia Beylis!
Willie Stewart has curated two different concert evenings. If you wish to attend both, you’ll need to purchase two separate tickets.

Hun spiller på forskellige typer harpe, og bruger desuden sin stemme, elektronik og fundne objekter til at skabe sin fortryllende lyd. Med mange års eksperimenter og samarbejder bag sig har hendes liveoptrædener udviklet sig fra at skabe eklektiske verdener af traditionel, klassisk og tidlig musik til at væve dem sammen med nutidige og elektroniske elementer. Hendes optrædener er i dialog
med både nutid og fortid, og væver indre og forestillede verdener sammen.
E The Artist
Daranijoh Sanni, bedre kendt som E The Artist, er en eksperimenterende rapper, producer og art director fra Ayrfield i det nordlige Dublin. Inspireret af Afropunkisme gentænker E The Artist de moderne sorte klubgenrer i deres mest højlydte, bramfrie og intense udtryk.

Med udgangspunkt i Irland retter E the artist blikket mod de konstant spirende neokulturer, der vokser frem på tværs af diasporaen. Du kan være sikker på at blive blæst bagover af E The Artist’s energifyldte show!
Eimear Reidy og Natalia Beylis
Cellisten Eimear Reidy og den eksperimenterende altmuligkunstner Natalia Beylis fremmaner skovlandskaber, kosmiske måneopgange og dronerejser i deres dragende og forførende musik. Duoen, der er bosat i Letrim i Irland, har udviklet et særegent musikalsk sprog, der repræsenterer et fælles ståsted mellem deres individuelle stilarter. Ofte improviserer cellisten og altmuligmusikeren til deres fælleskoncerter, hvor tonerne snor sig om hinanden som rødderne på urgamle træer.
I 2021 udgav de deres første album sammen, og i 2023 fulgte opfølgeren She Came Through the Window to Stand by the Door, indspillet på Irlands næstældste orgel. Om det andet album skrev Daryl Worthington i The Quietus, at: “The idea of sound being world building is common in ‘electronic’ music, whether modular or computer. Beylis and Reidy show that surroundings can be bypassed with acoustic means, and the conjured realms can be full of motion and life. Transportive isn’t quite the right word. Their music induces hyperphantasia.” Glæd dig til at træde ind i nye verdener med Eimear Reidy og Natalia Beylis!

Ye Vagabonds
2025-11-26 20:00 - 23:00 | ALICE, Nørre Allé 7, København N, 2200
The group Ye Vagabonds was founded by brothers Diarmuid and Brían Mac Gloinn, who are known for their beautiful vocal harmonies and their ability to bring old melodies to life. Join us and experience their soulful musical expression, which has made them leading figures in the new wave of Irish folk music.
Brothers Diarmuid and Brían Mac Gloinn, the duo behind Ye Vagabonds, are part of a new generation revitalizing Irish folk. Originally from Carlow, they moved to Dublin over ten years ago, where they still live today. Ye Vagabonds are celebrated for their exquisite harmonies and their gift for reinterpreting traditional songs. Their influences draw from Ulster’s rich singing traditions as well as North American folk music. And if those references don’t immediately ring a bell, they’ve summed up their sound quite simply themselves: “brothers, old melodies, close harmonies.” A short description for a sound that reaches deep into the soul!
In recent years, Ye Vagabonds have been touring extensively as headliners and have also opened for artists such as Patti Smith, Hozier, Phoebe Bridgers, boygenius, Dermot Kennedy, and Vampire Weekend. They have won “Best Track,” “Best Album,” and “Best Folk Group” at the RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards.
This year, they’re releasing new material — and who knows, we might be lucky enough to experience it live when the Irish folk brothers take the stage at ALICE!

Gruppen Ye Vagabonds er skabt af brødrene Diarmuid og Brían Mac Gloinn. De er kendt for at skabe smukke vokalharmonier og bringe gamle melodier til live. Kom med, og oplev deres sjælfulde, musikalske udtryk, der har gjort dem til frontfigurer i den nye bølge af irsk folkemusik.
Brødrene Diarmuid og Brían Mac Gloinn, som står bag gruppen Ye Vagabonds, er en del af en ny bølge af irsk folkemusik. Brødrene voksede op i Carlow, men flyttede til Dublin for over 10 år siden, hvor de stadig bor den dag i dag. Ye Vagabonds er kendt for at skabe smukke vokalharmonier og bringe gamle melodier til live. De trækker på den irske region Ulsters’ sangtradition, såvel som nordamerikansk folkemusik … Og hvis de referencer ikke ringer nogen klokke, har de selv beskrevet deres musik sådan her: “brothers, old melodies, close harmonies”. Så kort kan man altså beskrive en lyd, der rækker langt ind i sjælen!
På det seneste har Ye Vagabonds turneret en masse som hovednavn, og har desuden åbnet for artister såsom Patti Smith, Hozier, Phoebe Bridgers, boygenius, Dermot Kennedy og Vampire Weekend. De har vundet “Best Track”, “Best Album” og “Best Folk Group” til RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards. I år udgiver de nyt materiale – mon ikke vi er heldige at opleve det, når de irske folk-brødre gæster ALICEs scene!

The Scratch live in Pumpehuset
2025-11-17 20:00 - 22:30 | Pumpehuset, Studiestræde 52, Copenhagen, 1554, Denmark
The Scratch are a band that don’t seem to fit in anywhere, but have proven they fit in everywhere. Starting out with just acoustic guitars and a wooden box back in 2016, the band immediately made a splash in their hometown of Dublin, releasing their debut EP ‘Old Songs’ in 2018. Seemingly unable to stick to one genre, they consciously move between heavy metal, Irish folk, stadium rock and post-punk. They are constantly evolving both creatively and sonically, never taking themselves too seriously as individuals, but always putting their souls into the music. They have won the hearts of everyone who has experienced their live shows, which have attracted a cult-like following in Ireland, the UK and most recently mainland Europe and North America

The Scratch er et band, der ikke ser ud til at passe ind nogen steder, men som har bevist, at de passer ind overalt. De startede med kun akustiske guitarer og en trækasse tilbage i 2016, og bandet skabte straks en opmærksomhed i deres hjemby Dublin, og udgav i 2018 deres debut EP ’Old Songs’.Tilsyneladende ude af stand til at holde sig inden for én genre, bevæger de sig bevidst rundt om heavy metal, irsk folkemusik, stadionrock og post-punk. De udvikler sig konstant både kreativt og lydmæssigt, tager aldrig sig selv som individer alt for seriøst, men lægger altid deres sjæle i musikken. De har vundet hjerterne hos alle, der har oplevet deres live shows, som har tiltrukket en kultlignende tilhængerskare i Irland, Storbritannien og senest i fastlandet Europa og Nordamerika

Det forvandlede Irland
2025-11-01 10:15 - 14:15 | Københavns Folkeuniversite, Søndre Campus, Emil Holms Kanal 2-8,, 2300, Denmark
Det forvandlede Irland

Ved dr.phil., lektor em. Michael Böss, AU
Midt under 1. Verdenskrig foranstaltede irske nationalister en opstand i Dublin. Selv om den hurtigt blev nedkæmpet, blev den indledningen til en revolution, som endte i 1921 med Irlands deling og dannelsen af en selvstændig, katolsk stat. Men først skulle den irske ø gennem en blodig borgerkrig, som har præget Irland lige siden. Efter 40 år med økonomisk stagnation og betydelig udvandring, blev Irland i begyndelsen af 1960’erne åbnet for udenlandske investeringer og international konkurrence. Den nye politik satte gang i økonomisk vækst. Efter nogle kriseår i 1970’erne oplevede Irland, godt støttet af EF (senere EU), fra midten af 1990’erne høje vækstrater og blev på få år et af Europas rigeste lande. Irlands medlemskab af EF satte desuden gang i en liberalisering af lovgivningen på områder som prævention, skilsmisse, homoseksualitet, abort og censur. Det nutidige Irland er altså helt anderledes land end det oprindelig var tænkt som.

Denne lørdag kan du få et indblik i- og overblik over Irlands nyere historie, og hvordan det står i Irland i dag.
Om forelæseren: Historiker og forfatter dr.phil. Michael Böss, lektor emeritus ved Aarhus Universitet.

Dumb Show by Joe Penhall
2025-11-01 00:00 - 2025-11-29 23:59 | Krudttønden, Serridslevvej 2, 2100, Denmark
DUMB SHOW by JOE PENHALL
(A comedy about fame, betrayal and greed)

When Barry, a famous comedian and TV celebrity, is introduced to personal wealth managers Jane and John, he can’t wait for their gold-plated advice about how to get rich quickly. Opening up to them, he willingly shares his views and details of his personal life.
But soon he discovers he might become the victim of ruthless tabloid journalism in search of a sensational story. And a tense game of power and manipulation follows.
Penhall, creator of Mindhunter on Netflix, has the gift of making serious points about our seemingly insatiable hunger for celebrity scandal wrapped in biting satire.

SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE - Danish release date on Oct 30th
2025-10-30 00:00 - 2025-12-31 23:59
Experience a touching, strong and haunting film starring Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy (‘Oppenheimer’) about compassion, responsibility and courage, based on the bestselling novel by Claire Keegan (‘The Quiet Girl’).
On the 30th of October, Angel Films are releasing SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE in cinemas all over Denmark. A film that reminds us that the sins of the past are not far behind us.
Ireland, 1980’s. While working as a coal merchant in order to support his family, the devoted dad Bill Furlong discovers disturbing secrets kept hidden by the local church. The church is holding young girls, who are pregnant out of wedlock, confined against their will. Suddenly, Bill’s own past submerges, and as a father of five daughters, he finds himself in a destructive moral dilemma. His discoveries force him to confront the silent complicity of the small town under the control of the Catholic church and to come to terms with his own past.
The film had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival where Emily Watson (‘Breaking the Waves’) won the Silver Bear for Best Supporting Performance.

Oplev Oscar-vinder Cillian Murphy (‘Oppenheimer’) imponere i denne rørende, uafrystelige og stærke fortælling om medmenneskelighed, ansvar og mod, baseret på den bedst-sælgende roman af samme navn af Claire Keegan (‘The Quiet Girl’). D. 30. oktober har Angel Films Danmarkspremiere på SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE i en lang række biografer landet over. En film, der minder os om, at fortidens synder ikke ligger langt bag os.
Irland, 1980’erne. Mens han arbejder som kulhandler for at forsøge sin familie, opdager den hengivne far Bill Furlong foruroligende hemmeligheder, der holdes skjult af den lokale kirke. Kirken holder unge piger, der alle er gravide uden for ægteskab, indespærret imod deres vilje. Med ét hvirvles Bills egen fortid op, og som far til fem døtre befinder han sig i et tærende moralsk dilemma. Hans opdagelser tvinger ham til at konfrontere den stiltiende accept, som hersker i den lille by underlagt den katolske kirkes kontrol, og tvinger ham til at tage et opgør med sin egen fortid.Filmen havde verdenspremiere på Berlin International Film Festival, hvor Emily Watson (‘Breaking the Waves’) vandt prisen som Bedste birolle.

Cian Ducrot
2025-10-06 20:00 - 23:00 | VEGA, Enghavevej 40, Vesterbro, 1674
Cian Ducrot brings Irish energy to Store VEGA
To Cian Ducrot speaks to many Danish pop lovers, he proved it in 2023 with a completely sold-out concert at Store VEGA. A show where he – as Poplish wrote in its enthusiastic review – “hit VEGA right in the heart”, while the lovable Irishman was characterized as “a sensitive pop star with a raw edge”.

His career began in 2016, when Cian Ducrot appeared on “The Voice UK”, but was eliminated early on. The Irish singer and songwriter – who comes from a musical family, studied music in London and plays flute, guitar, ukulele, piano, saxophone and drums – made a good impression on many viewers. He quickly gained a large following on social media, which was well received by his self-released debut full-length, “started in college (mixtape)”, which was released in 2020.
In 2022, Ducrot released the strong single “I’ll Be Waiting” (which reached the top 20 in England, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway and the top 10 in Ireland) and “All For You”, which together have well over 100 million streams on Spotify.
At the beginning of 2023, Ducrot toured as support for Ed Sheeran, later he guested on Tinderbox, and in August his debut album was released, Victory, which went straight to the top of the English, Irish and Scottish album charts and also reached the top 10 in the Netherlands and Belgium. The album received 4 out of 5 stars in The Irish Times, and on the subsequent tour, The Guardian praised his live show.
In 2025, Ducrot has so far treated us to two new tracks, “Who’s Making You Feel It” and “Little Dreaming”, which show him from his best melodic side. Now his Danish fans can also look forward to experiencing him live here again soon, because on October 6, the great musical talent will return to Store VEGA, where he captivated a packed house in 2023.

“Det tætteste du kommer på Irland i Danmark…”
Irish Evening er en unik kultur- & koncertevent i Danmark, som fortæller om Irland – både historie, kultur og samfund, og som præsenterer de bedste irske musikere indenfor trad., folk, og rock samt giver smagsprøver på glimrende irske whiskey og øl.
“Vi vil gerne vise det nutidige Irland, så derfor introducerer vi altid interessante og enestående bands fra Irland, som er kendte i Irland og internationalt, men ofte helt nye i dansk sammenhæng, således at oplevelsen altid bliver frisk og spændende for publikum”, fortæller Irlandsekspert Claus Hebor, der har arrangeret “An Irish Evening” samt rejser til Irland siden 2000.
“Publikum kan glæde sig til autentisk irsk musik fra trad. over folk til irsk rock med nogle af de bedste irske musikere på et utal af instrumenter – fiddle, flute, ulilian pipes, bodhran, banjo, guitar, accordion og mange flere”, forsætter Claus Hebor om programmet.
“Vi kan glæde os til at opleve irske bands, som hver gang får gang i publikum med deres irske folk- og rocksange – både covers og deres egne flotte sange. Og Realta Dance, som mange husker fra tidligere shows på Fuglsøcentret, er tilbage med dans i absolut verdensklasse, idet Raymond har danset mere end 10 år med Michael Flatley over hele verden. Publikum bliver som sidste år blæst omkuld af deres imponerende dans og stepdans”, slutter han.

Tradish
2025-09-06 20:00 - 22:30 | Kulturhuset Galaksen, Bymidten 48, Værløse, 3500
I 2025 fejrer Tradish 15 års jubilæum. I gennem disse år har Tradish optrådt på hundredvis af scener på tværs af Europa. Bandet har mødt og genset et publikum, der værdsætter den åbne og personlige tilgang til den traditionelle irske musik, som kend etegner bandet . Som en del af den levende irske musiktradition, spiller Tradish sig ind i en spændende og livsbekræftende blanding af det gamle og det nye, fortid og nutid, med en stærk forankring og respekt for rødderne.
Tradish er:
John Pilkington: vok al, guitar, bouzouki
Louise Ring Vangsgaard: violin, viola , vokal
Brian Woetmann: bodhrán, percussion mandolin vokal , step
Det sidste album Handmade tales er en samling af 15 håndlavede numre udført på hån dlavede akustiske instrumenter 15 fortællinger med hver sin historie. Det er et destillat af bandets helt specielle lyd, hvor deres egne kompositioner tilføres den irske traditionelle musik. Handmade tales er et snapshot af, hvordan bandets karakteristiske lyd har udviklet sig gennem mange års sammenspil: lyden af 3 stemmer og 6 hænder, som spiller på instrumenter håndbygget af træ, strenge og gedeskind.
Traditionel irsk musik har gennem de sidste 200 år vokset sig til et kraftfuldt træ med forgreninger, knopskud og spirer over hele verden. Nu er den et globalt fænomen som står i fuldt flor. Det forrige album Roots & Shoots tager os lyttere med på en rejse, hvor brændstoffet og inspirationen er hentet fra træets rødder og fra betrag tninger af folks liv her og nu. Roots & Shoots h østede begejstrede anmeldelser tværs over Europa og Tradish blev valgt som ét af 10 bands til at repræsentere Danmark i musikeksport projektet “Danish Roots Growing in the World”.
I forbindelse med 3 turnéer til Grønland har de ladet sig inspirere af den grønlandske sang tradition.
Sangen ” Nuilersup Qilaap Seequinersuata blev således en fast del af koncertrepertoi ret og er at finde på Handmade tales I løbet af de sidste 5 år har Tradish i en koncertrække optrådt med danseren Gunilla Odsbøl, som er Europamester i irsk s tep. Gunillas fødder kan høres på et af pladens dansenumre.
Med udgivelsen af Handmade tales, fortsætter Tradish med koncerter, festivaler og workshops både ind og udland.
