Judge Roy Beans have announced the highly anticipated line-up for their Summer of Music programme – featuring recorded performances and interviews with some of the biggest names in Irish music.

As part of the series, hosted by Keith Walsh, you can expect music and conversation from Donal Lunny & Paddy Glackin, Jerry Fish, Mary Coughlan, Megan O'Neill, The Pale, The Frank & Walters, Kíla, Mack Fleetwood, and more.

Judge Roy Beans, located in Newbridge, Co. Kildare, isn't just an award-winning steakhouse and bar – it's also an acclaimed music venue, and has provided a space for artists to rehearse and record since 2011. So, it’s no surprise that it remains at the heart of music as we gradually emerge from Covid-19 restrictions. Although they can't currently welcome audiences to the gigs in their spectacular Upstairs venue, they're bringing the magic to us – with all the performances set to be shared on their YouTube channel.
