Mick Flannery and Susan O’Neill deliver a masterclass in raw chemistry and emotional gravity at Clonmel's 'When Next We Meet. There is a distinct magic to a listening-focused festival, and inside the intimate, 800-capacity grounds of Raheen House, Saturday night's headliners proved exactly why the format works. Backed by a superb full live band, the duo centered their set around their acclaimed collaborative project In the Game.

Saturday’s bill was a masterclass in modern Irish folk, indie, and alternative music, capped off by an emotionally sprawling, towering headline performance. Standout performances included Eve Whelan, Noah Hayes, Róisín El Cherif, In Lieu of Flowers, The Last Party, and The Wran.
