The Venue Theatre in Ratoath, County Meath kicks off its new Songwriters’ Circle night on March 3 with a triple-header featuring Luán Parle, Q AKA Colm Quearney and Matt Andersen, the man adjudged by The Times to be “the world’s greatest guitarist” who’s making his Irish debut.

His most recent album, Coal Mining Tunes, featured Garth Hudson from The Band and Olabell singer Amy Helm. As well as running through their respective back catalogues, the trio will discuss their craft and the songs that down through the years have inspired them.
