Taylor Byrne to perform at The Cobblestone in Dublin

Dublin-based artist Taylor Byrne is set for a headline performance at The Cobblestone in Dublin on December 12.

The show follows his departure from Franco-Irish band The Celtic Social Club, which he was the lead singer for since 2022.

He announced his decision to leave the group in October, as they were preparing to release their latest album The Quiet Ones. The band also announced their final UK tour dates with the vocalist for this month.

In September, he played a headline set at Clubeo in Donegal, marking the start of his transition to a solo career.

Byrne performed with The Celtic Social Club on various tours spanning Europe, the UK and the US, including their first-ever performances in Ireland, such as a homecoming gig at Whelan's earlier this year.

He also contributed to the band's music, helping write and record their collaborative album You Should Know, which was released in October 2025. The singer was also featured on their 10th anniversary re-recorded favourite collection, Inventory.

Originally from Finglas, Byrne had only been busking on Dublin's Grafton Street for about six months when the band's founder and drummer, Manu Masko, discovered a video of him singing on YouTube. Masko reached out on Instagram and Byrne eventually joined.

Byrne was the youngest in the band by some margin, which he noted as an "eye-opening" experience during an interview with Hot Press in 2025.

"The others are seasoned professionals who've been at this a long time, and here I am in my early twenties, so we're coming from completely different worlds. But the contrast has been brilliant," he said.

Tickets for his show at The Cobblestone are on sale now here.
