Tonight on the Y&E Series, we're delighted to present Kevin Neary as our next act – going live on the Hot Press Instagram at 7.30pm...

Drawing influence from the likes of Dermot Kennedy, James Vincent McMorrow, The Coronas and Bon Iver, Galway singer-songwriter Kevin Neary continues to establish himself as a thrilling new force in Irish music.

The Hot Press Y&E Series is supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media. Watch Kevin Neary performing live tonight on the Hot Press Instagram (@hotpressmagazine) at 7.30pm.
