The acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter John Spillane will play an intimate gig at IMRO award winning venue Boyles of Slane on Saturday, 7 September.

Boyles is a charming venue set in the middle of the beautiful village of Slane. It's a small venue with a capacity of just 60 seated, which specialise in staging intimate gigs that live long into the memories of those lucky enough to attend.
