Multi-award-winning Artist Conleth Kane returns to The Black Box for the first time since his sold out show in 2019. He will be showcasing songs from his EPs โ€˜Proud: Live in Londonโ€™ (his first ever live album that went to number2 on iTunes), Liberty, Just A Dream, Erasure-esque and new music also.

2026 marks Conlethโ€™s 10 year anniversary as a Singer/Songwriter. As an Independent Artist, he has won multiple awards including โ€˜Entertainer of the Yearโ€™ at the 2024 GNI Magazine Awards in Belfast and has performed his music all over Ireland, the UK, Europe and Australia.

His show is an unplugged musical soundtrack to the story of a young gay manโ€™s journey of navigating a pathway from a divided Northern Ireland to the glittering city lights of London experiencing love, success and grief along the way.
