David Keenan and Nell Mescal to perform at London's St. Patrick's Day

David Keenan and Nell Mescal are set to perform at this year's St. Patrick's Day celebration in London.

The event, hosted by Rachel Galvo, will take place in Trafalgar Square on March 15. Other performers set to feature include Huartan, The Wran and Carrie Baxter.

In a recent interview with Hot Press, Mescal, now based in the UK, spoke on the popularity of Irish musicians: "For me, it’s always felt like some of the best music was coming out of here."

“So I’m just like, ‘Yeah, of course!’ Most of the artists on my playlist, that I look to for inspiration, are Irish – which is a very tell-tale sign. Everyone’s just killing it.”

The Paddy's Day celebration will also include a special 35th anniversary performance of Robert Arkins' Commitments, as well as a showcase of Irish dance and language.

The event is programmed by Head The Ball, a London-based promoter which curates Irish music events and specialises in highlighting Irish culture and talent abroad.
