Niamh Regan announces Irish solo tour for autumn

Niamh Regan will be touring across Ireland this autumn, performing a series of small solo gigs in Dublin, Cork, Galway, and more.

“I’m looking forward to playing some of the sweetest small venues around Ireland. I’m aiming to share a good mix of my first and second albums with a sprinkle of new material,” said Regan.

The Galway singer released her debut album Hemet in the midst of the 2020 Covid lockdown. The record was nominated for both the RTÉ Folk Awards album of the year and the Choice Music Prize.

Since her debut, the indie and folk musician has cultivated a broad fanbase and has played a run of UK shows this summer after the release of her second record, Come As You Are.

Drawing inspiration from artists like Julia Jacklin, Caroline Rose and Wilco, her second album is a collection of "vulnerable and personal" tunes, Regan told Hot Press in an earlier interview.

"Come As You Are is really about accepting yourself and realising when you lose sight of yourself. Everyone loses it at some point, and no one gets away from sadness," she explained.

Apart from playing over a dozen Australian solo gigs in March 2023, Regan has also opened shows for the likes of CMAT, Pa Sheehy, John Grant, SOAK, and Patrick Watson in 2023.

Tickets for her Irish solo tour go on sale this Friday, at 10 am, via niamhregan.com.
