Receive Communion in Whelan's

The recently-launched Communion gigs will have their next showcase on Sunday, May 16 in Whelan’s, Dublin.

The line-up will feature some of Dublin’s finest up-and-coming folk acts, including The Last Tycoons, Anthony Furey and the Young Folk, Justin Grounds, Rachel Sermanni and Harrison Cargill.

Admission on the night is €7 with doors opening at 6.30 pm.

The Communion concept was born in 2006 at Notting Hill Arts Club in London, founded by Ben Lovett (Mumford and Sons), Kevin Jones (Cherbourg) and producer Ian Grimble.

It grew into a community of musicians, industry and fans alike, and provided a platform for the newest bands on London’s circuit, including Noah and the Whale, Laura Marling, Mumford and Sons, JJ Pistolet and Peggy Sue.
