This week will see three of the most thrilling names in Irish music – HamsandwicH, Caoi de Barra and Shobsy – kick off their run of specially curated DARE TO SHARE shows, with a performance at The Liquor Lounge in Galway (February 3), followed by The Blind Pig in Dublin (February 17). And this is your final call to apply for complimentary tickets!

Presented by Hot Press, and brought to you by Paddy's Share Irish Whiskey, these two intimate events will find the celebrated Irish artists sharing their personal stories in song, as part of a special one-off collaboration. As such, you can expect DARE TO SHARE to be an unmissable event for music fans and musicians alike.

Well-known for their incendiary live performances, HamsandwicH have established themselves at the forefront of Irish music since the release of their debut album, Carry The Meek, in 2008. Back in September, they returned with their acclaimed new album, Magnify, hailed by Hot Press as "cheerful, charming synthpop."

"We are very much looking forward to collaborating with Caoi de Barra and Shobsy, we are big fans of them both and can’t wait to see what the night brings when we get involved with each others songs!" HamsandwicH told Hot Press. "There also might be a few collaborative covers thrown in there for good measure..."

Originally rising to prominence as a member of the hugely popular Bray trio Wyvern Lingo, Caoi de Barra kicked off her solo career with the release of her debut solo EP, Thicket, in September, as well as a run of lauded live appearances last year.

"Intimate shows in unique situations are the ultimate gig for me," Caoi said. "There’s a quiet magic captured in a small group of people that are all listening and on the same wavelength – you just don’t experience that in a larger venue. I always strive to create this kind of intimate and memorable atmosphere."

Dublin singer-songwriter Shobsy's powerhouse vocals have marked him as a serious one-to-watch – as he follows his success as the lead vocalist in State Lights with a captivating solo career. His first solo releases, 'Driven' and 'Vanity', have already picked up major praise on these shores and beyond.

"HamsandwicH, Caoi de Barra and I will be both learning and teaching our songs to one another, while also singing certain covers together – with certain songs being performed as solo and some as a collective group," Shobsy remarked. "I'm really excited to hear my own songs in a totally different context. It's a really good test for the quality of a song to see can it still shine outside of the confines of a studio. I also look forward to delving into the songs of the other artists to learn more and find new songwriting tricks!"

Taking place in two beautifully bite-sized spaces, DARE TO SHARE promises to be an unforgettable night for the artists and the audiences alike. But the intimate set-up means that tickets are very – very – limited. So don't miss out!
