This year's Culture Night roster will include an intimate performance from musicians David Gray and Colm Mac Con Iomaire on Skellig Michael and broadcast on RTÉ.

The broadcast will feature a pre recorded performance by Gray and Mac Con Iomaire, which was filmed on the island.

Speaking on the occasion, the Welsh musician said: "Colm and myself performed one song for the cameras and the only audience consisted of puffins, rock pipits and the small team of wardens and archaeologists who both study and care for this sacred place. It was nothing short of magical to be there".

Further musical performances will be broadcast as part of the RTÉ show including Villagers, Joe Chester, Gemma Hayes and Edwina Guckian.

Radio 1 will broadcast a Culture Night Arena live special outside broadcast from the Mermaid Arts Centre in Bray, with music, chat and performance.

They'll also be a live radio broadcast from the Róisín Dubh Galway which will include a selection of Irish music acts.

The Tracy Clifford Show will come live from Galway and join up with Beta Da Silva, who will host a three-hour live broadcast.
