The Ghostlight Sessions - Thursday August 20th at 8:00pm

Introducing artist #1 for our August Ghostlight Sessions - Lorc D

Ballybofey born and bred, now based in London, singer-songwriter and producer Lorc D crafts emotionally raw music that moves from minimalistic, spoken-word poetry to soaring choruses. Indie-folk is the genre, but influence also comes from punk adjacent music, the DIY attitudes of which are always an important reference. Fans of Alex G, Joshua Burnside, Jamie T, and Bob Dylan will find familiar touchpoints in his sound.

Now in itโ€™s 9th year The Ghostlight Sessions is one of the country's longest running established original emerging music nights. Each night features 3 30 minute sets performed by some of Irelandโ€™s best new musical talent. Come along and discover your next new favourite artist!
