Moxie and Tír na nÓg Billed For New Venue Magistorium

Trad finds a new home in Dublin, as Number Twenty Two presents two gigs at 'Magistorium' on St. Anne's Street this Christmas.

All hailing from Ireland’s untamed West Coast, Moxie has a solid traditional backbone, inspired and shaped by their surrounding of the west of Ireland, but with progressive, world and jazz influences creeping into their music, making for a truly heady and distinctive sound.

Moxie will play on December 21, with tickets for the dinner and show priced at €55 and show only €25.

Tír na nÓg, the legendary Irish duo formed by Sonny Condell and Leo O’Kelly have been variously described as alt-folk or psych-folk and have been on the Irish music scene for well over 40 years. Their three albums, Tír na nÓg (1971), A Tear and a Smile (1972) and Strong in the Sun (1973) were re-mastered and re-released in October 2012 by Cherry Red Records/Esoteric, including all their singles as bonus tracks.

They were strongly championed by John Peel, and recorded many Peel Sessions for BBC.
