Conor Scott will mark the end of another spellbinding week of the Y&E series with his performance on the Hot Press Instagram - tonight at 7:30pm.

With the Belfast singer-songwriter set to head out on the road with Ryan McMullan in autumn, Scott is making a name for himself as one of Northern Ireland’s new household names.

Having built his reputation on the scene in London, Conor Scott returned to his hometown and dropped ‘Overthinking’ in February 2021. The ‘Watch Me Go’ singer then released his Life Now EP featuring the thought-provoking title track.

It's set to be an evening of captivating entertainment from the Belfast star, who really is one of Ireland's most impressive young talents.

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